WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department ordered a sweeping freeze Friday on new funding for almost all U.S. foreign assistance, making exceptions for emergency food programs and military aid to Israel and Egypt.
The order threatened a quick halt to many of the billions of dollars in U.S.-funded projects globally to support health, education, development, job training, anti-corruption, security assistance and other efforts.
The U.S. provides more foreign aid globally than any other country, budgeting about $60 billion in 2023, or about 1% of the U.S. budget.
Gee, I wonder where that money will go???
Who knows? Into a private industry pocket hired to clean up the disaster instead of FEMA? Wouldn’t be a trump buddy, would it? Betcha they charge extra in any State that trump doesn’t like…if they even show up.
Exactly. As well as other various boondoggles or other bullshit programs designed to suck every penny from the US.
