According to an Associated Press report on the 15th, the US government is withdrawing tens of millions of dollars in military aid funds from European and Middle Eastern countries to support some Central and South American countries instead. The report said that the US State Department notified Congress on the same day that it would allocate 52 million US dollars of “foreign military financing” originally intended to be provided to Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia, and Iraq to Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. The US government's “foreign military financing” project provides financing in the form of grants or loans for recipient countries to purchase US military equipment and related services.
