How much does USAID cost the US government?
According to government data, the US spent $68bn (?55bn) on international aid in 2023.
That total is spread across several departments and agencies, but USAID's budget constitutes more than half of it at around $40bn.
The vast majority of that money is spent in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Europe - primarily on humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
The US is the world's biggest spender on international development - and by some margin.
