Hanti-dhaqaale Mareykanka ah oo lagu dhiibayay ururro siyaasadeed oo midabka u dhiganta
Xukuumadda Trump waxay ku howlan tahay inay ka dhigto in ka badan 175 milyan oo doolar oo ka mid ah barnaamijka xuquuqda aadanaha ee wasaaradda arrimaha dibadda, iyadoo ku xiray ururro siyaasadeed oo midabka u dhiganta. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay in lacagta dhaqaalaha ah ee dowladda laga qaadayo ay ku biirto ururro siyaasadeed oo midabka u dhiganta.
Barnaamijyada ugu weyn ee lacagta
Waxaa jira 43 barnaamij oo isku dhaf ah oo ku dhawaad 176.9 milyan oo doollar ah, kuwaas oo ka mid ah barnaamij $40 milyan oo loo qoondeeyay hay'adda 'Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation' (VOC).
Waxaa sidoo kale jira barnaamij $3 milyan oo loo qoondeeyay 'Jobs Foundation' ee dalka Ingiriiska, kaas oo loo qoondeeyay Matthew Elliott, xubin ka tirsan xisbiga Conservative.
Xukuumadda iyo khilaafka siyaasadeed
Senator Jeanne Shaheen waxay go'aansatay inay xakameyso barnaamijyada qaar, iyadoo sheegtay inay u baahan tahay in la xakameeyo barnaamijyadaas.
Wasaaradda arrimaha dibadda waxay sheegtay in barnaamijyadu ay ku jiraan 'active deliberation', balse waxay sheegtay inay fulin doonaan tallaabooyinka caadiga ah ee la xiriira xuquuqda aadanaha.
Barnaamijyada kale ee lacagta
Barnaamij $1 milyan oo loo qoondeeyay Brazil wuxuu ka shaqeyn doonaa 'Countering Lawfare and Censorship', halka barnaamij $2 milyan oo kale uu ku jiro 'Promoting Western Civilization Allies'.
Barnaamij $7 milyan oo loo qoondeeyay '878' wuxuu ku jiray, balse wuxuu la wareegay July kadib markii la ogaaday inuu yahay mid siyaasadeed oo midabka u dhiganta.
With the fiscal year ending in hours, the Trump administration is racing to direct more than $175 million of the State Department's flagship human rights fund to a slate of 43 awards that critics say will bolster rightwing and conservative causes worldwide.
A Massive Anti-Communism Grant Leads the Slate
The largest single award of $40 million is directed to a consortium led by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC). A State Department vetting document identifies Andrew Bremberg, a former Trump White House adviser, as a senior leader of the foundation, while ProPublica reported that the grants overseer, Samuel Samson, was linked to VOC through his studies at Hillsdale College.
Critics have focused on 43 awards of a combined $176.9 million that will bolster rightwing and conservative causes around the world, marking a significant shift in US support for dissidents and civil-society groups under authoritarian governments.
Controversial Grants Target Europe, Brazil and the UK
The awards include a $1 million grant to counter judicial overreach in Brazil, a $2 million program to promote Western Civilization Allies in Europe, and a $3 million no-bid award to the UK's Jobs Foundation, run by Matthew Elliott who led the Vote Leave campaign. Another $7 million award to the thinktank 878 was abandoned in July after pushback from Congress.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen has put a partial hold on giving the grants to some of the controversial awardees, setting up a showdown with the State Department with just hours left for the money to be obligated before unobligated funds typically lapse.
Administration Defends the Proposals
The State Department told the Guardian the programs were still in active deliberation, that awardees would meet guidelines for federal grants, and that all programming would undergo a standard and rigorous vetting process by grant professionals. A State Department official said the programming in Europe aims to support allies in defending rights and principles along with their civilizational self-confidence and sovereignty.
Senator Shaheen said the Trump administration's proposals would use taxpayer funds to promote far-right organizations and programs in established democracies, calling it a waste of resources that undermines United States values and relations with democratic partners, including allies in Europe.
