"That's the stuff that really ensures we don't have to respond in a more costly way to an emergency, where you're doing prevention work, building resilience and getting people out of poverty. That piece in particular has been decimated in this package," InterAction's Lisa Bos says.
"The administration and their allies in Congress incorrectly presented these rescinded funds as cutting back on waste, fraud, and abuse, codifying previous grant and contract terminations by DOGE. Instead, the vast majority of money targeted by the package comes from Fiscal Year 2025 and was appropriated by this Congress and President only a few months ago."
“The administration’s request to rescind over $8.3 billion in foreign assistance funds previously appropriated by Congress represents a profound departure from America's longstanding bipartisan commitment to global leadership. The administration claims these cuts only target wasteful spending and yet provide examples totaling less than 1% of its proposed cuts."
