While the effectiveness of foreign aid remains up for debate, the United States recently has continued to pump around $50 billion in aid to other countries each year. In terms of the absolute value of aid given, the United States is the world's top donor by far.
The U.S. spent about $30 billion in development assistance in 2015 â the most of any country in terms of dollars â but a very small fraction of gross domestic product. Russia and China, the next two countries perceived to be the most powerful, are among the worldâs top four military spenders. Following the top three are the U.K., Germany, France and Japan â countries that have large economies and give out high numbers of international aid.
