Union president tells House committee Trump issuing ‘legally dubious policy to drain departments and agencies of experienced and dedicated professionals’
Before a dozen Republican senators were against USAid, they were for it. “I have been on USAid’s case for years now,” Senator Joni Ernst told Fox News on Tuesday. “Going back several years where I was trying to investigate the expenditures for humanitarian aid, primarily when it came to the war in Ukraine.” But before Ernst, and several of her Republican colleagues in the Senate were against USAid, they were actually for it.
A review of two letters Ernst sent to Samantha Power, the administrator of the US Agency for International Development in 2022, co-signed by 11 current Republican senators, shows that their primary complaint was that the agency was not spending congressionally mandated funds quickly enough to support Ukraine and other countries that relied on Ukrainian grain shipments that had been disrupted.
