How the Trump administration learned to love foreign aid
Mr Trump set it up in his first term; its loan book is capped at $60bn, mostly raised from private investors. The White House wants to lift that to $250bn, which will need congressional approval. Officials at all three say they will scrap most handouts, instead lending at close to commercial interest rates or making equity investments.
