A lot of aid is in the form of Dept of Agriculture market support commodities, i.e. surplus food products. Much of the aid is military, so Boeing et al. would have a fit if Trump cut aid to Egypt, for example. Most of the money isn’t ‘foreign aid’ as much as corporate welfare, and even then the US budget is pitiful compared to Canada and most European nations.

US Defense Contractors will have lobbyists, etc., sucking up to make sure they still get theirs.
