Mark Green, a former US ambassador to Tanzania, will need to see through huge funding cuts after receiving the presidential nod to lead USAid
Donald Trump has achieved what could be seen as a first under his presidency: choosing someone to lead a government agency who has met with bipartisan approval.
Trump has nominated Mark Green, a former congresssman and one-time US ambassador to Tanzania who has worked under both the Obama and George W Bush administrations, to lead the US Agency for International Development (USAid). In what could be one of the toughest jobs in Trump’s government, Green will have to oversee the massive funding cuts the White House is proposing to the agency, the effects of which are expected to reverberate globally.
Green, 56, has been praised by aid workers and politicians alike as an “exceptional choice” who will bring “unprecedented experience” to the job.

Much of that debt was financed by loans from foreigners and much of the instruments of that debt is owned by foreigners. Essentially this “US aid” is the US government borrowing from some foreigners and transferring that wealth to other foreigners Of course hard working taxpayers from places like Kansas are ultimately responsible and legally bound to pay back the principle and interest on the “charity” their government provides. Just another example of the liberal mantra in action “With my guilt and your gelt, we can do anything!”

After having to deal with USAid letters of credit I was convinced that it was a con to get American countries to send goods overseas and then try to cheat them out of their payment.
