Viktor Orbán and Elon Musk’s statements about the planned abolition of USAID, also supported by President Donald Trump, sound like a conspiracy.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán welcomed the report on the X platform that US entrepreneur Elon Musk and President of the United States Donald Trump can close the world’s largest state aid organization – USA for International Development (USAID). Orbán described the activities of the agency as “dark conspiracy”, reports TASR newsletter in Budapest.
Trump and Muska’s efforts to reduce the government
“USAID apparently funded ultra -drawer politico in Brussels and, in essence, the entire left -wing media in Hungary for the previous US administration. And they still called me the ‘troublemake of the year’ … I think the world is grateful to President Trump for revealing and ending this dark plot, “ORBÁN said on Wednesday on Platform X.
Billionaire Elon Musk, head of the Government Effective Office (Doga), said on Monday that the new US President Donald Trump agreed to close USAID. The future of the organization was the topic of discussions a few days after the freezing of its financing.
The decision was made in the effort of Trump and Muska to reduce the government, which, according to AFP, caused the outrage of democrats and human rights groups.
“The nest of vilies”
Musk described the agency as “nesting a radical left-wing Marxists who hate America” and promised to cancel it. Without providing evidence, he said that USAID was doing “unfair work of CIA” and allegedly funded research of biological weapons including Covid-19, which killed he killed Millions of people. “A billionaire also claims to have” full support for the president “.
USAID finances humanitarian aid and charity programs in approximately 120 countries, including the poorest regions of the world. It was founded in 1961 and today has a budget of more than $ 40 billion. According to AFP, this is only a slight fraction of the total expenditure of the US government, which is almost $ 7 trillion. The withdrawal of employees and their families is likely to cost tens of millions of dollars due to travel costs and relocation costs.
Musk, as the head of Doga on Monday, announced that “the USAID closure process is in progress.” However, he has not explained what legal basis it may be abolished.
