The 2011 Aid Request for Latin America

This afternoon, the Obama administration made public its 2011 budget
request to Congress,
including its proposal
for next year?s
foreign assistance. This is the first ?real? foreign aid request for an
administration that had barely arrived in power a year ago.

Congress will use this request as the guideline for its State and
Foreign Operations budget funding bill, which provides about
three-quarters of all military and police assistance to Latin America
and the Caribbean. (The Defense budget bill provides nearly all of the
rest.)

The Obama administration?s foreign aid request differs significantly, if
not radically, from what came before. For Latin America, the difference
is notable, as this slideshow indicates.
