How about our Foreign aid? Do they mind that meddling?


Well, historically an amazing amount of our foreign aid has gone to
support repressive dictators. People in countries where they had to
live through that probably *do* remember, and dislike, our foreign
aid. More broadly, it often comes with strings attached, and it often
makes no sense. People could easily notice and find that
objectionable.

How about the World Bank?


Rather out of favor in a lot of places. And widely viewed as an agent
of the US, though we don't formally control it.
