Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

Agree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

The party has shown a willingness to cut aid to countries it perceives as a security risk. For example, in 2018, the party cut aid to Palestinian territories over concerns of funding terrorism.

Agree

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Slightly agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

The party has shown some concern for human rights in its foreign aid policy, but it is not the primary factor in their decision-making. For example, in 2018, the party cut aid to Palestinian territories over concerns of funding terrorism, not human rights violations.

Strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

Despite cuts to foreign aid, the party has not advocated for completely ending foreign aid. This would be a drastic and unlikely policy shift.
