The Biden administration is planning to drop up to $2 million in federal funds on a green energy initiative in Morocco, according to documents reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
President Joe Biden has made it a top priority of the federal government to fight the"climate crisis," which he declared in a January 2021 executive order to be"more necessary and urgent than ever" and"at the forefront of this nation’s foreign policy and national security planning."The U.S.
USAID has also prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in Africa that the GOP has slammed as"woke," including consulting with left-wing groups in Ethiopia — a revelation first reported by the Washington Examiner that Sen. Ted Cruz said showed the Biden administration"has been relentless in politicizing every agency of the federal government and injecting them into the culture wars.
State Department spokesman Mahmoud El-Hamalawy told the Washington Examiner USAID"completed all required congressional notifications associated with these funds," referring to the Morocco grant. He said the United States"is committed to mitigating and adapting to the climate crisis," adding,"These types of investments protect U.S. national security by mitigating causes of instability and irregular migration and addressing humanitarian needs.
The grant is part of USAID's 2022"climate strategy," which outlined how the agency will mobilize"active leadership in climate action [among] Indigenous Peoples, local communities, women, youth, and other marginalized and/or underrepresented groups in at least 40 partner countries," documents show.
