Original Note:

Surveys from KFF have found that on average, Americans say spending on foreign aid makes up 31% of the federal budget. The actual figure is 1% or less. https://apnews.com/article/usaid-foreign-aid-freeze-trump-peter-marocco-8253d7dda766df89e10390c1645e78aa# https://apnews.com/article/usaid-foreign-aid-trump-dictators-freeze-de4b211931515315ef699c8fc7d37239
