Wrong again.
The Fiscal 2018 Budget for the State Department, FOREIGN operations including foreign aid WAS ALREADY $54 BILLION. Trump wants to CUT this to $42 Billion in 2019. The Senate Appropriations Committee, in a unanimous bipartisan vote, approved a budget of $54.4 billion. The Republicans control the Senate. So it was not just Democrats, it was not $12 billion over $54 billion and it was not all money for foreign aid but also money — about $12 billion — to keep the State Department running. My source?
