During a recent news conference in San Jose, Costa Rica, Senator Marco Rubio addressed concerns raised by aid organizations regarding the disruption of their work despite a waiver being issued for lifesaving foreign assistance. The waiver was issued after the Trump administration suspended almost all foreign aid.
Senator Rubio questioned the competence and motives of aid organizations that claimed they were unable to restart their work due to lack of official notification about the waiver. He expressed skepticism about organizations that receive funds from the United States but struggle to apply a waiver, suggesting that they may be either incompetent or intentionally sabotaging the process for political reasons.
