Labor Department Saves $33 Million by Slashing USAID-Like America Last Grants | ||
2025-03-21 | ||
[Breitbart] Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer saved millions of taxpayer dollars by slashing grants to foreign countries that were similar to those of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Breitbart News has learned exclusively. Secretary Chavez-DeRemer was sworn in a week ago and has already made headway into trimming the budget at the Department of Labor (DOL) by slashing tens of millions of dollars in grants to foreign countries to shore up their labor policies.
Many of these grants are similar to those of USAID, which sent untold millions of dollars to foreign governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other groups.
In a memo last week to executive staff and agency heads within the DOL, she ordered a review of budgets to identify opportunities to cut “wasteful contract spending” and recommend ways to “cut redundancies and low-performing employees.” “By adhering to the principles of fiscal responsibility and efficiency, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of millions of Americans,” she wrote in the memo. “At the direction of the President, the Department of Labor has already saved the American taxpayer $125 million, and this important work must continue to root out waste, fraud, and abuse,” she contended, noting that many of these contracts include discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training and consulting. “Thank you for your dedication to our mission of Putting American Workers First as we work together on behalf of President Trump to usher in a new Golden Age of economic prosperity,” she wrote in her memo to staff. “I look forward to collaborating to create a positive impact on the lives of millions of workers and their families.” Related: Lori Chavez-DeRemer 11/29/2024 The Powerful and Intelligent Women Joining the Trump Administration Lori Chavez-DeRemer 11/24/2024 Politics round-up: President-elect Trump and Congressional Republicans flooding the zone Lori Chavez-DeRemer 11/23/2024 Trump names hedge fund manager Scott Bessent as his nominee to head US Treasury, and 8 more proposals | ||
