Greg Meeks Torches Rubio Over USAID Cuts, China, and Betrayal of Values
In one of the most powerful exchanges on Capitol Hill, Rep. Greg Meeks directly confronts Secretary Rubio, accusing him of abandoning the very ideals he once championed as a senator. Meeks contrasts the Rubio who once warned against executive overreach and championed democracy with the Secretary who now oversees sweeping cuts to the State Department and USAID, undermining America’s global influence.This hearing raises bigger questions about U.S. foreign policy, accountability, and the future of American leadership. USAID and the State Department are not just bureaucratic institutions—they are essential tools of soft power, diplomacy, and global stability. Cutting their budgets doesn’t just reduce costs on paper; it leaves food rotting on shelves, medicine undistributed, and alliances weakened in the face of rising authoritarian powers like China.
Meeks’ questioning highlights a fundamental contradiction: how can America project strength abroad when it dismantles the very programs designed to promote human rights, build alliances, and showcase U.S. values? And how can leaders demand accountability from others while ignoring congressional oversight and even court rulings at home?
For anyone trying to understand how foreign policy decisions made in Washington impact real people around the world, this hearing is a case study. It shows how the choices of one administration can ripple outward—affecting global perceptions of America, the health of democratic institutions, and the trust of allies and adversaries alike.
What do you think—was it worth it? Should the U.S. continue investing in diplomacy and foreign aid, or is a retrenchment justified? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
