A new office for faith. Trump continues with controversial reforms
The office aims to immediately stop the persecution of Christians and prosecute cases of violence and vandalism against them. The President emphasized that these actions are intended to defend the rights of believers across the country.
During his speech, Trump also criticized the leadership of the USAID agency, the primary body of the American administration responsible for long-term aid to countries recovering from natural disasters, fighting poverty, and implementing democratic reforms.
He accused USAID officials of "massive fraud" and wasting public funds, mentioning $8 million spent on subscriptions to the Politico portal. According to reports, this amount represents the total federal spending for this purpose since 2016. This information has been publicly available for years.
