Congressman Fallon calls claims China anxious to replace USAID vacuum hyperbolic nonsense at House hearing

Texas Congressman Pat Fallon and Heritage Foundation Senior Research Fellow Max Primorac discuss Secretary of State Rubio having issued a blanket waiver for life-saving aid as part of $72 billion in spending, acknowledges that USAID isn't the perfect vehicle for aid delivery but recognizes that China would fill any vacuum left by the US with its Belt and Road Initiative, calls claims they don't see a role for US federal aid hyperbolic nonsense, and asks Primorac about ways foreign aid hurts US efforts to counter China's malign influence, to which Primorac responds that aid has created international dependency and welfare, and suggests focusing on trade and investment to create stronger allies in the developing world to combat the China challenge at a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency hearing about foreign aid priorities.
