WASHINGTON — President Trump is moving to cancel nearly $5 billion in congressionally approved foreign aid and peacekeeping spending in a rare “pocket rescission,” The Post has learned — deploying a legally debated maneuver that hasn’t been used in 48 years.
Trump on Thursday night notified Congress of his request to cancel the funds, which had been tied up in a court case until earlier in the day.
A pocket rescission is a request that’s presented to Congress so late in the fiscal year — which ends Sept. 30 — that it takes effect regardless of whether Congress approves. more
With so much debt, we have to come first!
S0 much waste and fraud that $5 Billion seems like peanuts now.
Foreign aid should be limited to natural disaster relief and then under strict scrutiny to limit graft. Billions in aid has would up in the pockets of politicians and terrorists.
