Trump: ‘We Are Taking a Hard Look at U.S. Foreign Assistance’

‘We will examine what is working, what is not working, and whether the countries who receive our dollars and our protection also have our interests at heart’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "The U.S. is the world’s largest giver in the world by far of foreign aid, but if you give anything to us. That is why we are taking a hard look at U.S. foreign assistance. That will be headed up by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. We will examine what is working, what is not working, and whether the countries who receive our dollars and our protection also have our interests at heart. Moving forward, we are only going to give foreign aid to those who respect us and, frankly, are our friends."
