The #Trump admin plans to overhaul the structure of how the US distributes billions of dollars of #ForeignAid, acc/to an internal memo that calls for funding fewer areas that it views as better aligned w/[Trump’s]…geopolitical interests.

The proposal,…comes during a push by Trump & #billionaire #Musk to *shrink* [destroy] the federal govt, which they say misuses taxpayer money for causes that do not advance *US* [their] interests.

The bipartisan letter, signed by 17 lawmakers & organized by Representative Greg Landsman, #Democrat of Ohio, said that “the #ForeignAid freeze has jeopardized, & may ultimately eliminate, our informational support of #Ukraine on this front.”

The #State Dept & the Yale center “had been preserving evidence of #abducted #children from Ukraine it had identified, to be shared w/ #Europol & the govt of Ukraine to secure their return,” the letter says.
