The Trump administration has tried to cut billions from foreign aid programs aimed at fighting corruption in Ukraine and other countries, despite Trump's claim that fighting corruption in Ukraine is a top issue, The Washington Post reports.
The Post, citing White House budget documents, noted that the administration tried to cut a $30 million allocation to Ukraine for a program intended to support the country's anti-corruption bureau to $13 million, an attempt that was rejected by Congress. The paper said that in its 2020 budget request, which was released in March, the White House again suggested allocating $13 million to Ukraine for the program, but that"Congress seems likely to once again reject the proposed cut.
This is about corruption, and this is not about politics."Read MoreOn Sunday, Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, again sought to dismiss allegations that the administration held up the aid in exchange for the country investigating Trump's political opponent, telling Fox News"there were two reasons that we held up the aid ... the first one was the rampant corruption in Ukraine.
