Mainecat Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Mystery grows over Trump administration hold on Lebanon aid https://apnews.com/4bae0513e28647c59b74bcf51f7550a5 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is withholding more than $100 million in U.S. military assistance to Lebanon that has been approved by Congress and is favored by his national security team, an assertion of executive control of foreign aid that is similar to the delay in support for Ukraine at the center of the impeachment inquiry. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday congratulated Lebanon as the country marked its independence day but made no mention of the hold-up in aid that State Department and Pentagon officials have complained about for weeks. It came up in impeachment testimony by David Hale, the No. 3 official in the State Department, according to the transcript of the closed-door hearing released this week. He described growing consternation among diplomats as the administration would neither release the aid nor provide an explanation for the hold. “People started asking: What’s the problem?” Hale told the impeachment investigators.

That's the "better question" on all this shit to me. WTF? Second question is, why is it perceived by these grantees that that money shouldn't have any strings attached? WTF!?!?!??!?!?!!? One thing Trump said that resonated is that the world looks at the US as a big piggy bank. He was right on with that statement and the anger from the countries towards him for saying it told us all we needed to know. Time to end this shit.

Not really a separate matter as this is the only way America gets to see and talk about these five seats to foreign countries. Witholding aid has been a very effective tool for Trump and the American taxpayer on questioning the giving of aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, its possible it "could be" held up for a review of JUST THAT, why? what if the funds arent going to anything we agreed on prior to granting them aid? it should be halted. and we dont know if "HE" is doing the/any withholding do we.

Over course is being withheld but not for the reasons that democrats state. With each of these “witholding” aid things the better it is for Trump. It gets the debate going which benefits Trump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
