Peter Navarro's Secret Meetings and Dismantling of USAID

Secret Meetings and Policy Violations

• 🎯 Peter Morocco, in charge of dismantling USAID, secretly met with Bosnian Serb separatist leaders in the Balkans during the Trump administration.
• ⚠️ One of the attendees, Milorad Dodik, president of Republika Srpska, was under U.S. sanctions at the time for undermining the Dayton Agreement.
• 🚫 This meeting was a significant violation of agency policy, as Morocco often left the reservation to meet officials abroad without consulting the Ambassador first.

Questioning Foreign Aid and Ideological Stance

• 💡 Morocco has openly questioned the existence and constitutionality of foreign aid, echoing sentiments from the Kremlin.
• 🗣️ He brought up color revolutions and suggested potential criminal activity within the agency he is dismantling.
• 🇷🇸 Dodik, whom Morocco met, has expressed pro-Russia, anti-West, and anti-U.S. sentiments.

Vendetta Against USAID

• 📉 Reporting suggests Morocco's actions against USAID are a personal vendetta against the agency and its critics.
• 🔍 During his previous tenure, he attempted to review all programs with budgets over $10,000, seemingly to halt operations on a smaller scale.
• 💥 Current actions are seen as an at-scale version of his past efforts, aiming to effectively end all U.S. foreign aid.
• ⚖️ Despite his efforts, several lawsuits are still pending against the agency's dismantling.
