The Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Jim Rish, R-Idaho, said that a comprehensive review of the spending of the United States Agency for International Development (US Agency for Development), following the Trump administration’s efforts to reform the agency.

The US International Development Agency was an independent agency to provide aid to poor countries and provide development assistance, but the agency has been supported since February when President Donald Trump stabilized Secretary of State Marco Rubio to oversee the organization amid fears that the US Agency for International Development did not provide American basic interests. Since then, the agency has faced the demobilization of workers and has been absorbed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This increased audit on the US Agency for International Development is valid, according to RISCH.

“It is necessary to review the amount of money we spend on it from top to bottom,” Rish said during the Washington -based Hudson Institute at the Hudson Institute.

Rish said that after several weeks of the Trump administration, he and others, including Rubio, evaluated a list of programs that separate 3 million dollars in financing “promoting democracy in the lower Silopovia.” According to RISCH, the description has not provided enough information and elements such as billions of dollars that must be reviewed.

“Slobovia Lower Slobovia” is an imaginary place and a term that Americans use to describe a backward foreign country.

“We can do much better, not only how, how much money we spend, but how we spend it,” said Rich. “Therefore, if you say, well, we remove this program, be careful, you do not say,” This means that we are walking away from human rights. “See, America is human rights.

The Ministry of Governmental efficiency (DOGE) targeted the United States Agency for International Development in pushing it to eliminate waste spending. The agency was criticized for many financing options, including allocating $ 1.5 million to a program that sought “diversity, fairness and integration in the workplace in Serbia and business societies” and a $ 70,000 program for “Dei Musical” in Ireland.

As a result, Rubio announced on March 11 that the Foreign Ministry has completed a six-week review and will cancel more than 80 % of the United States Agency for International Development-to reduce approximately 5,200 programs from 6200 from the US International Development Agency.

Fox News Digital was the first to report later in March, which planned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to accommodate the remaining operations and programs run by the United States Agency for International Development so that it no longer works as an independent agency.

This step means getting rid of thousands of employees in an attempt to enhance the “life -saving” foreign assistance programs, according to the Foreign Ministry note obtained by Fox News Digital.

“The external assistance that has been properly conducted can provide our national interests, protect our borders, and strengthen our partnerships with the main allies,” Rubio said in a statement of March News Digital. “Unfortunately, the American Agency for International Development has moved away from its original mission for a long time. As a result, the gains were very few and the costs were very high.”

“We re -direct our foreign assistance programs to consider directly with what is better for the United States and our citizens,” said Rubio. “We continue to save basic life and do strategic investments that enhance our partners and our country.”

Meanwhile, Democrats criticized the agency’s restructuring, describing this step as “illegal.”

“The destruction and dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development and its dismantling to the United States Agency for International Development is not only the catastrophic foreign policy and combating our national security interests; it is clearly illegal.” “Congress has written a law creates the American Agency for International Development as an independent agency with its own allocation, and Congress can alone eliminate it.”
