US media: US redirects some military aid funds for Europe and the Middle East to Central and South America.

According to an AP report on the 15th, the U.S. government is withdrawing tens of millions of dollars in military aid funds from European and Middle Eastern countries and redirecting them to support certain Central and South American countries. The report said the U.S. State Department notified Congress that day that it would reallocate $52 million in "Foreign Military Financing" originally intended for Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia, and Iraq to Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. The U.S. government's "Foreign Military Financing" program provides financing in the form of grants or loans for recipient countries to purchase American military equipment and related services.
