Trump Administration Stops $50 Million for Gaza Condoms, $37 Million to WHO as Wasteful Spending
Jan 28, 2025, 07:16 PM
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that a recent pause in federal grants allowed the Department of Government Expenditure (DOGE) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to identify and halt $50 million in taxpayer dollars that were about to fund condoms in Gaza, a spending plan initiated by the Biden administration. Leavitt described the planned expenditure as 'a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.' Additionally, DOGE and OMB discovered $37 million that was about to be allocated to the World Health Organization. The Trump administration's efforts aim to trim spending and prevent what they consider frivolous use of taxpayer dollars.
