But if you go to mission after mission and embassy after embassy around the world, you will often find that in many cases, USAID is involved in programs that run counter to what we're trying to do in our national strategy with our country or with our region.

So the functions of USAID, there are a lot of functions of USAID that are going to continue, that are going to be part of American foreign policy, but it has to be aligned with American foreign policy. I said very clearly when we, during my confirmation hearing, that every dollar we spend and every program we fund That will be aligned with the national interest of the United States.

I would also point to the Europeans that what the Russians have done with Ukraine would not have been possible without the assistance of China. whether it's the sharing of technology or aid in evading sanctions or selling their oil in secondary markets.
