This is an example of US not carrying "all the water." The second link shows that the EU+UK (countries + institutions) sent more food aid than the US. The UK has roughly 1/5 the population of the US and sent more than 1/5 as much as the US. Or, the UK has roughly 1/8 the GDP of the US and sent far more than 1/8 as much as the US.

Also, the data is 2014-2018 when US food aid was managed by USAID. What is the US percentage now that USAID has been eliminated?

The us share of world gdp was between 22-27% and it was contributing 36%.

Secondly, this is only external aid, internally the US far outspend most countries with 100B towards SNAP. Most euro nations don't even have food stamp like programs.

So we’ve gone from “the U.S. carrying all of the water” to “the U.S. carrying 10 points more, in a way which heavily subsidized a key political group”? That seems like a pretty big shift in goalposts.
