Caution: "aide de l'étranger" and "aide à l'étranger" - contrasting concepts - have nonetheless the same equivalent in English "foreign aid" (or its synonym "external aid"). That is to say that the meaning of the English terms, both inherently ambiguous in nature, is dependent on the context for clarification. To avoid confusion, expansion is often required, e.g. aid from abroad, aid from another country, etc. 3, record 2, English, - foreign%20aid
