Apparently there was even more aid to Lebanon that the Trump administration had been quietly withholding.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ordered the release of $115 million in economic aid to Lebanon on Thursday after the funds had been frozen for a month, Bloomberg reported.
Four unnamed sources told Bloomberg that U.S. Agency for International Development deputy administrator Bonnie Glick froze the aid after she had spoken with Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates and “hardliners in Congress,” in Bloomberg’s words.
The report marks a second time in less than two weeks that congressionally approved aid to Lebanon was revealed to have been delayed, then abruptly released by the Trump administration.
On December 2, the administration finally gave Lebanon the $105 million in military aid that the Office of Management and Budget had been withholding for months without explanation.
Musta come up with some dirt on Biden…
I’m gonna go out on a limb and call Pompeo a pompous, puffed up prick!
I’m guessing everyone who receives aid from the US is in the same boat.
