WasteOfTheDay: $6B Yearly to Afghanistan

In 2018, Afghanistan received $6 billion in foreign aid from the United States, the most of any country in the world and twice that of the runner up, Israel, which received $3 billion.

That year, the last year available, the U.S. spent $46.9 billion on foreign aid, according to OpenTheBooks.com’s new oversight report, U.S. Foreign Aid: How and Where the U.S. Spent $282.6 Billion (Fiscal Years 2013-2018).
