House Republicans are rallying behind former President Donald Trump’s foreign policy approach, advocating for a more scrutinized and efficient distribution of U.S. foreign aid.
A memo obtained by Fox News urges GOP lawmakers to push for reforms, criticizing the Biden administration’s foreign aid spending as wasteful. It highlights examples like funding a “transgender opera in Colombia,” which Republicans argue diverts aid from its intended purpose.
The memo calls for a freeze on foreign aid to assess current programs and ensure funds are effectively allocated. It emphasizes Trump’s foreign aid freeze, which was seen as improving accountability and aligning aid with U.S. interests.
Critics, however, may view this as a political move to discredit the Biden administration. The GOP’s focus on foreign aid reform reflects a broader push for fiscal conservatism and reducing government spending.
