INL gets zero money

ECA gets no money

"The proposal for fiscal 2026 would allocate $28.4 billion to State and USAID, down from $54.4 billion," including "shuttering up to three dozen U.S. diplomatic outposts." A tenth of the request would go to an undefined "America First Opportunities Fund."


And in the Washington Post, My Senator weighs in


Chris Van Hollen, the ranking Democrat on the state department and USAID subcommittee of the Senate foreign relations committee, criticized the proposals as “an unserious budget”.

“I predict it will hit a wall of bipartisan opposition,” he told the Post.

Eliminating the Africa bureau is wild.

Eliminating DRL, PRM, ECA would be wild too.

I hope Rubio is telling the truth that this memo is fake news. Maybe it’s a Pete Marocco relic.
