President Trump said Tuesday that a decision on whether to try to suspend certain foreign aid funds would likely be coming within a week.
"We’re looking at it, and we’re looking at it in different ways," Trump told reporters during a meeting with the Romanian president in the Oval Office. "We’re talking to Republicans and Democrats about it, and certain things we could save."
"We have some things on the table very much and we’ll let you know over the next, probably sooner than a week," he added.
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been working on a request for a budget process known as "rescission" that would cut $4.3 billion in foreign aid that has already been approved by Congress.
SNIP
Both liberals and conservatives make this argument.
Cut all aid to Palestine and increase Israel aid. He already cut all aid in february but he can do it again so we can see Tlaib and Omars heads explode.
He should even photo op giving Bibi a huge check like a lottery winner.
Cut off all aid to the Muslim slave-trading countries of Nigeria, Sudan, Libya, Algeria and Mauritania. Save $1.5 billion per year. Then, see if the Commiecrats and media try to oppose the cut.
Cut all those who don’t help control illegal immigration to zero. Cut Muzzie-supporters to zero. Cut everything else by 10% and apply all the savings to Build The Wall.
America First.
I’m pretty sure there is a Federal Judge somewhere who will issue an injunction agains this. Keep the cuts from actually happening for years...
Rescind it all. Mail all 300 million working/taxpaying citizens a check for $14 and move on to the next.
A good time to wean the whole damn world.
He should stop it all and reconsider once the wall is built. If they need to find the money for the wall, this is the perfect place. America first. If there’s no money to secure your own border, there’s no money to take care of other countries.
Commie media loves mentioning Palestine even though there is no such thing..saw a Republican on Fox News earlier today make the same mistake..I think there is a Palestine Texas though :-) Israel needs the aid in order to protect herself from constant rocket attacks from Jihadists who want to wipe Israel off the map..and I agree a big check to BiBi would be super awesome
Cut all aid to blue states, counties and cities....
Am I wrong to describe China as America’s adversary? If not, then why is the USA still sending them 1.3 billion?
Cut off South Africa too. THAT will make heads explode.
I agree. Mandela’s communist hellscape.
Excellent Point JudyinCanada!
Reduce the amount of aid to each country factored by the number of illegal immigrants
Cut it all to $0.00. All of the aid goes to zero. Make deals based on trade deals and strategy.
Yeah, a check with ‘Pay to Palestine’ with a line through it, and ‘Israel’ written in!
Agreed. China should be -100 billion to -500 billion. Might as well give NK nukes. Obama gave Iran nukes via 150+ billion in CASH. CASH. PALLETS OF CASH.
Cut off the America hating sh1tholes today
Screw that. It’s a pitentce compared to how much the government pisses away. Cut a nickel off all departments for every dollar spent
