That article doesn't actually say the budget is going to be cut. Indeed
it says that the target figure of 0.7% of GDP being spent on foreign aid

projects that are more focused on our national security and to our
benefit, which is a return to the the priorities that used to apply to it.

Does that mean it's okay to spend it on arms as long as they're made in Britain and the buyer is notionally pro-West?
