Pete Marocco, Trump Administration officials earlier riot US International Development (USAID), private “listening” session in the United States, this month, in the private “listening session” made this month. The meeting, according to several people in the room: everyone is committed to fidelity.
Within the Loy Henderson Conference room, support organizations, industrial groups and foreign embassies – disclosing the freezing of the Administration in foreign support and USAID – he rose at his feet.
The support team was there that Morocco would give answers to the future of foreign support. After the commitment, Marocco explained the foreign support plans to Trump Administration, advocating what “full zero-based review”, arguing that some foreign support was “radical change”, a meeting obtained by ABC News before asking questions Record the private audio.
‘Cunning actors in agencies’
The multi-source that participated on February 13th described as “deeply uncomfortable” in the room, some participants who represented the groups that were interspersed in the peaks did not have tone and detailed details.
In the discussion, a global organization, a global global organization, asked Morocco about the impact of freezing, without dealing with the payments paid by private money with private money.
“SPIGOT will be open? and the well-being of children in almost 100 countries.
Morocco replied after the President Donald Trump’s order Stopping foreign supportSome transactions were still processing, his team asked for the payment of the payment system: leaving some teams without pay, a few weeks later, it was not yet reached.
“According to payments, it is one of the reasons that have been problems with some payments, despite the guidance of the President, the guidance of the secretary, the nefusous actors who tried hundreds of illegal payments,” said Morocco. “And so we could take control of it, stopped, take control of some of these people and make sure that the money did not get the door.”
Marocco proposed that the payment of existing contracts with existing contracts would re-enter the next Tuesday.
“I’m sure we’re sure we’ll be pretty good on Tuesday next week,” he said. “That doesn’t mean she will be caught on top of everything they want. But I think our payment system will be fluid at that moment.”
Tuesday came and went, and many teams say they were still on the edge of failure. Some encouraged scaling the legal struggle against the administration.
On Monday, several officials said that the Moroccan payment system would have completely restored that he would work technically, but many funding was moving very slowly and many programs to follow the operations has not yet received money.
Usaid officials said that the Fautic Funding has issued many programs exempt. Some have been used to use stock resources, but because these programs have been cut from the Federal Aid to the week, most of them have left a few funds and that they do not predict, according to officials to function for more time.
After a federal judge on Friday Clear the path In order for the administration to take out thousands of work from the US and the world, the Trump Administration continued with the effort to disassemble the USAID, but saying it was part of the world’s employees but saying all Monday.
In the forensic prescribed affiliation, the agency was presented, the agency has allowed “at least 21 payments allowed to pay for some subsidy, loans and some foreign support, worth more than $ 250 million and pay this week.”
From Monday, there was no light that these payments have been made.
To obtain comments, no Abc will be confirmed, if the payments began again, but ABC said the executive order that pauses us to finance foreign support. In the next 90 days, the programs are reviewed to align the outside policy of current administration. “
“What we think is legitimate”
In the listening session, a relative of the Senate Democratic Senate pressed Marocco, when the payments began again, including return returns on work earlier than January 24.
“When payments start again, will they enter the work created before January 24 in payments on Tuesday?” He asked Staffer, when Abc came to comments made by news, asking us to be afraid of our retribution.
Marocco would not guarantee that the freezing would happen to the government contracted, saying that the Trump Administration would only cover “legitimate expenditure” and the definition of a legitimate expenditure of the administration is different from class team groups. .
“We will look at them,” Morocco said. “What we think is legitimate may not be the same thing that other people think it is legitimate, but we’re going.”
The Staffer followed, arguing, was the work before freezing, “he was legitimate at the time, right?”
“We went to the next person,” Morocco replied.
On his declaration submitted on Tuesday, Marocco transmitted the scope and state of freezing government support. He wrote, since Trump would enforce the request of the 90-day freezing request, which finished almost 500 grants and contracts. The agency “has not quantified” the full cost of these programs.
On Tuesday, the state department finished more than foreign support support and 750 inherent grants and interrupted almost 7,000 more, Marocco wrote.
‘Cycle of dependency’
Marocco used to paint the harsh image of the US foreign support, “addiction, presumption, and honorable, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.” The past reform efforts were not affected, arguing that officials had nothing to “around the edges”, rather than what he saw as a systemic failure.
The review was insisted that “those programs are actually doing” and they need to follow at all. And renewed the wider effort of the President Trump to re-fit Washington’s foreign support view.
“American people deserve better. And President Trump promised better,” criticizing the decisions made behind the closed doors behind the closed doors in Congress, in Washington, small DC groups. “
When Marocco released, he told the administration to spread beyond the USAID, including the NASA, Patent Challenge Corporation (MCC) and Media Global Media (USAGM) US agency.
“If there is a tax dollar that comes out to a foreigner, we need to get control of it and we are trying to get what is achieved with our partners,” he said. “We want to identify all this. We want to fix it. That’s the goal.”
Morocco clearly made the new foreign support structure that would be linked to political priorities of Trump.
“With the Secretary of State, you will be on the line,” Morocco said. “Review of foreign support, you will follow the goals of the President’s Foreign Policy. Or you will not spend money abroad.”
Help teams told them to justify their programs in the room.
“You have to think of persuasion, perhaps a woman in my mother’s biblical study,” he said. “You need to think about someone who works at McDonald’s Mississippi. You have to think of the Harlem grad student.”
The Trump Administration has received Representation of importance In the effort to move foreign support programs from Democrats in Congress. “What Trump and Musks have made it wrong, it is illegal,”, Don Beyer of Virginia Don Beyer said this month in an outdoor news from USAID. “It was created by an action of the USAID Congress, and only an action of Congress can be disseminated. The stagnation of the courts will require the action and to show the courage and standing for our people.
“Catastrophic” damage
February 13 meeting support was scaling the legal struggle on freezing. Last week, the coalition of support groups asked by a federal judge Intervention, arguing that frost had violated existing financing agreements and that the “catastrophic” affected their humanitarian missions. The Judge of Amir Ali was a temporary reduction order to stop the frozen, but support organizations said that financing was locked, leaving the effort to stop operations.
Late Tuesday, Trump Administration attorneys presented the papers of the court to make the interpretation of the court order of the court. Help teams back on Wednesday, asking the court to enforce the judgment.
“The court must not fail from the statement of the declaration of the condition of such demand,” they wrote in the archive.
The Judge Ali, named the Biden, wrote on Thursday, while Trump Administration officials would “not fulfill” while he would hold them in the contempt of court.
But the officials did not warn them as a “light” corrective to raise the “freezing blanket” support costs.
