The American Chamber of Republican Republican representatives approved little on Thursday the revocation of more than $ 9.4 billion in federal public funds already assigned, under the leadership of the White House and the Duxt of Elon Musk Commission. The funds were destined in particular for the development aid of USAID and public media NPR and PBS.
The Lower Chamber of the Congress approved the text with 214 votes and 212 against two Republican elected officials have changed their initial “no” after the discussions in the hemicycle with its leader, the “speaker” Mike Johnson. “Under the leadership of President Trump, his taxpayer’s money is no longer wasted,” said Mike Johnson in a statement after the vote, which occurs a few days after the thunderous dispute between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, who concluded the participation of the richest man in federal affairs.
“Gaseosa foreign help”
The Senate, also most Republicans, must now approve the revocation of these funds, made at the request of the White House. Donald Trump welcomed his social platform for the truth of this text that allows us to “recover $ 9.4 billion in funds for a foreign aid that via waste”, before addressing the NPR radio and the PBS television channel, “highly biased” according to the Republican president, and that run the risk of losing $ 1.1 billion that were destined for them. “NPR and PBS are an extreme left disaster and 1,000% against the Republican party,” said the 78 -year -old president.
He had signed a decree in early May, ordering “to stop funds” of the two public media, and that NPR recently attacked in the Court. The US Constitution establishes that Congress only has the power to allocate federal public funds. The text adopted in the House of Representatives aims to give strength of the law to the cuts identified by Dogs and requested by the White House, while these funds had already been previously approved by Congress.
Among them, $ 8.3 billion were assigned with help abroad through USAID. The agency was one of Doge’s first objectives and since then it has been almost dismantled. It is also said that global public health projects, such as the Pepfar program to combat AIDS (created under President Bush Fils), are affected with 400 million dollars canceled.
