Trump to announce huge foreign aid crackdown to protect US interests in Day One executive order
https://www.dailymail.co.uk ^ | 20 January 2025 | ROB CRILLY

Donald Trump will sign an executive order Monday halting all new foreign aid unless it fits with U.S. strategic goals, according to two incoming senior White House officials.

The aim is to prevent American taxpayers' cash falling into the hands of groups working against the U.S. or promoting 'diversity, equity, inclusion' agendas, for example.

And it will likely immediately halt new U.S. money going to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

It is the agency that distributes aid in Gaza but it has repeatedly been accused of close ties to the terror group Hamas. The UN admitted that nine of its staff may been involved in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

'The United States and American citizens have been some of the most generous people in the entire world,' an incoming White House policy adviser told DailyMail.com.

'But at this point, we have to understand that foreign policy is domestic policy, and if this is not aligned with our interests, then Uncle Sam should not be opening up his pocketbook any longer.'

Did you know Biden withheld aid from African countries who had pro-life laws? He made abortions a condition of aid. SO sick!

Does this include the Foreign Aid we give to Canada and Mexico and 433 other nations that beg for money?

My guess is that these new rules will have zero affect on one particular Middle East country.

a billion bucks is three bucks from every person in America. If you are talking taxpayers it’s life 10 bucks per tax payers. So do the math for 100 billion dollars.

"Now, about all those NGO’s?"

eliminate their funding, and investigate for human trafficking and support for terrorists. Prosecute to the full extent of the law.

Biden should make a call to Zelensky. Tell him that as one condition of further aid, he must rehire the prosecutor that Biden had fired. Let the prosecutor continue with his investigation unhindered and let the chips fall where they may.

Eliminate their funding is very much the point.
Needs to be THIS week, if not today.
And definately look into their records/activities.
To get funding back they have to PROVE they have not been working against US interest and laws.
