Leading congressional Democrats are ripping into House Republicans for proposing a 30% cut to the State Department, accusing them of undercutting U.S. national security in the competition with China.
Leading congressional Democrats are ripping into House Republicans for proposing a 30 percent cut to the State Department, accusing them of undercutting U.S. national security in the competition with China.
When House Republicans last held the House in 2017, they watered down the Trump administration’s proposed $20 billion cut to State Department and foreign aid. But they still took big bites out of economic aid to help volatile regions as well as operations and diplomacy efforts while nudging down security assistance and payments to the U.N. and international organizations. Negotiations with the Senate killed that cut then, and they’re likely to do so again.
Republican appropriators have said they’ll be proposing to defund aid to countries that haven’t been on America’s side. A member of the same panel as Lee, Rep., said the idea was to “prioritize far more dramatically than we’ve done in the past” and focus on “real problems.”
