Although this was his intention, the United States only succeeded in reducing the military budget, and did not deter the Soviet Union from trying to expand Communism.

In foreign military financing, some of their objectives include to improve the military capabilities of key friendly countries to contribute to international crisis response operations, including peacekeeping and humanitarian crises, to promote bilateral, regional and multilateral coalition efforts, notably in the global war of terrorism and to assist the militaries of friendly countries and allies to procure U.S defense articles and services that strengthen legitimate self-defense capabilities and security needs.
