The US, across both parties and independents,
reacted with horror.

The power of the purse includes instructing the executive branch
It's already become apparent to the administration that they need these functions after all.
They are now attempting to rehire into the State Department disaster assistance teams that were dismantled, but they have none of the infrastructure we had with offices around the world and embassies, depots that had stockpiles ready to go.

cooperating and leading the world together to get them out into the world and to set high standards for what the world can accomplish.
