Some lawmakers are asking for quick action to save food intended for international aid after USAID offices were shuttered this week.
Senator Chuck Grassley says President Trump has a clear strategy in the controversial move.
“He got a mandate from the voters to drain the swamp, and this is a perfect example of a swamp that needs to be drained. Now, does it need to be drained of food aid? No.”
That aid has been stopped for 90 days. Grassley says he is confident it will restart once the programs geta more thorough investigation.
