“These lives and means of life depend on this support,” Dujarric said, adding that they are now “one of the greatest assistance providers” in the world.
“We are currently changing what [the Trump administration’s decision] So the influence he would have. “

In a statement, he also confirmed that the newly accused Secretary of State Marco Rubio was supported by politics under the guidance of Trump.
“Reviewing and reconciling foreign assistance in the name of diligent taxpayers is not just the right thing to do, it is a moral imperative. The secretary is proud to protect the US investment with a deliberate and reasonable examination of spending dollars abroad abroad. “
But experts have scored the decision of Trump’s administration, saying that they will have catastrophic consequences for people around the world.
