NSA’s Waltz on the USAID: ‘We Need to Realign Their Mission and Reunite It with the President’s Foreign Policy Vision’

RUSH EXCERPT:
WALTZ: "No. Absolutely not, and in fact, kristen — excuse me, kristen, this is exactly what President Trump, secretary of state Rubio, Elon Musk, myself and many others who have worked with usaid are talking about. All too often these missions and these programs, number one, are not in line with strategic U.S. Interest like pushing back on China. They’re doing all kinds of other things that, frankly, aren’t in line with strategic interests or the president’s vision, number one. Number two, often, all too often, only cents on the dollar actually makes it to people in need between the big contractors, the subcontractors, the local contractors. The dollars aren’t being used wisely. We need to take a hard look at it. We need to move quickly and that’s exactly what’s being done and personally, I can tell you I’ve worked out in the Middle East. We’ve seen a big usaid and there’s a mullah preaching American hate and the usaid in charge told me we’re just handing out food. That’s our food to just be humanitarian. No, we need to realign their mission and reunite it with the president’s foreign policy vision."
