In 2019 Trump found out that US Foreign Aid was used by polticians and bureaucrats to get kick-backs from countries the United States grant Aid Funds to. He instructed the State Department and Trasury Deopartment to provide strict rules as to the pament of Foreign Aid grants to prevent furtehr corruption involving USA Politicians and Bureaucrats to benefit rom the kick back system and the Aid being used for the purpose it is granted. In the end he stopped all cash transfers to the corrupt regime in Kiev and ordered the Defense Department to buy armaments to the amount of $1 billion and delive it t he Ukrain army.
Pelosi and Schif lost their share of corrupt kick-backs and they decided to try and Impeach President Trump because he denied arms aid to Ukraine - but when Biden took over the rules went out of he window and it was back to Crook Internationale again. There was one problm though - a court case refer to activities of Democrt Party Senator Bob Menendez - Chairman of the Senate Committee who had to sign of on Foreign Aid progams - and the FBI raided his home and found $500 000 and number of gold bars in his House,
The problem was then hsuhed up for a year because the Senate membership was 50:50 in the Senate and any arrest would have complicate issues from a political perspective and only when it was feared by the FBI and Justice Department that the report on the raid by the FBI on Menendez home that he was cahrged in early 2024 with charges involving kickbacks from the Egyptian Governments and convicted the of the crimes involved,
However, Marco Rubio was fully aware about what happened under the Biden Administration and now issued the following instruction to the State Department:-
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio paused all U.S. foreign assistance funded by or through the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to allow the Trump administration to review if the money puts "America First."
On Sunday, the State Department released a statement about falling in step with President Donald Trump’s executive order to reevaluate and realign foreign aid from the U.S.
"Consistent with President Trump’s Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid, Secretary [Marco] Rubio has paused all U.S. foreign assistance funded by or through the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for review," the statement read. "He is initiating a review of all foreign assistance programs to ensure they are efficient and consistent with U.S. foreign policy under the America First agenda. President Trump stated clearly that the United States is no longer going to blindly dole out money with no return for the American people."
The statement continued, saying the review and alignment of foreign assistance on behalf of taxpayers is a "moral imperative," adding that Rubio is proud to protect America’s investment "with a deliberate and judicious review" of how the money is spent on aiding foreign countries overseas.
"The implementation of this Executive Order and the Secretary’s direction furthers that mission," the statement read. "As Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said, ‘Every dollar we spend, every program we fund, and every policy we pursue must be justified with the answer to three simple questions: Does it make America safer? Does it make America stronger? Does it make America more prosperous?’"
The announcement comes after the Trump administration ordered staffers with USAID to stop providing foreign aid worldwide or face "disciplinary action" for not complying.
Reuters reported that the Trump administration sent a sharply-worded memo to more than 10,000 staff members at USAID on Saturday, offering a "stop-work" directive from Friday that put a freeze on U.S. foreign aid around the world."
"We have a responsibility to support the President in achieving his vision," Ken Jackson, assistant to the administrator for management and resources wrote in the internal memo, titled "Message and Expectation to the Workforce."
"The President has given us a tremendous opportunity to transform the way we approach foreign assistance for decades to come," the memo added. Reuters reported that it confirmed the authenticity of the memo with several sources.
Trump ordered a 90-day pause in foreign aid just hours after taking office, to review if the funding was in line with his foreign policy priorities.
On Friday, the State Department issued a pause on aid worldwide.
The U.S. is the largest donor of aid globally. During fiscal year 2023, the U.S. dispersed $72 billion in assistance. It also provided 42% of all humanitarian aid tracked by the United Nations in 2024."
In the case of Biden in the last 14 days of his Presidency he went to Angola and promised them $340 million in aid for construction of a rail line in Angola and that is one of the Projcts where hopeully the money was not pad ot yet by the State Department to the Angolan Goernment already, If so hell is liely to break o ut again for the Democrats, They implemented a Mafia system in using state funding and the question remains which Politiciand and Bureauts will not go to jail for corruption crimes, There are obviously a number of Menendez cases to follow,
