US secretary of state Marco Rubio has ordered an immediate halt to work on virtually all existing foreign aid programmes pending a review into whether they are consistent with President Donald Trump’s policies, according to an internal cable seen by the Financial Times.The move will affect international assistance contracts administered by Washington, including through the US Agency for International Development, worth billions of dollars and spanning countries around the world.In the cable sent to the state department and USAID on Friday, Rubio said that all new foreign aid disbursements were to be suspended, and contracting officers and grant officers needed to “immediately issue stop-work orders . . . until such time as the secretary shall determine, following a review”.

About time.

The United States is in a major financial crisis. You guys (and us up North) can't afford to be giving away our money anymore.

And the governments never should have been doing so in the first place.

 

[Politruk]

Does this include military aid to Ukraine?

 

[Politruk]

The United States is in a major financial crisis.

??? No, we're not. We're not even in a government fiscal crisis.

 

[Rightguide]

Does this include military aid to Ukraine?

Yes. There was a report of anal prolapse over at Vindman's place.

 

[Politruk]

Yes.

Thought so.

 

[schism666]

does it include israel?

 

[Lazaran]

does it include israel?

No.

Israel and Egypt were the only two countries spared.

 

[schism666]

No.

Israel and Egypt were the only two countries spared.

then it's useless. what a dumb empty gesture.

 

[Lazaran]

then it's useless. what a dumb empty gesture.

It undermined / undermines Ukraine, which was the primary reason President Musk (and DonOld, Putin’s orange sock puppet) did it…so NOT “useless” IF you’re a TRAITOR…

Good thing Biden pushed out money to Ukraine ahead of trump acquiescing to Putin

 

[Politruk]

See, I told everybody Rubio is an idiot!

 

[Politruk]

Yes. There was a report of anal prolapse over at Vindman's place.

 

[Politruk]

What was supposed to be the point of shutting off all foreign aid at once, anyway?! That's no way to balance the budget!

A period of time to review where all of our money is going and to see if Joe Biden is wasting our money on extreme left wing causes and globalist aims. I suspect our foreign aid amounts will be drastically reduced.

Not surprising he doesn't grasp the concept of halting the giving away of money as a means of spending control and fiscal assessment.

He should know we are running a deficit. Maybe we can't afford to support the World instead of our own people. His problem is he doesn't see the immorality of deficit spending or his Socialist beliefs.

 

[DraggonStone]

Pissing of allies, especially in Latin America is just what our Russian and Chinese enemies want.

That governments forcibly take money from their citizens and then give it away should enrage any citizen, and it boggles the mind that it doesn't seem to.

is that an exact number, vetteman?

 

[Politruk]

He should know we are running a deficit.

So what? We're always running a deficit, ever since the Clinton Admin.

 

[Politruk]

For that purpose, he could have only frozen foreign aid that began under Biden. This approach is too blunt an instrument.
