Asked about cash to the PA, White House says Trump to take fresh look at overseas aid
White House spokesman Sean Spicer says that US President Trump will review all US after being asked about a last minute transfer of $221 million to the Palestinian Authority by the Obama administration.
Spicer declines to directly address the payment to the Palestinians, but says that “When it comes to how US taxpayer money is spent … he is very concerned to get a good deal for every dollar that is spent on behalf of the taxpayer.”
Spicer is also asked about US funding for Palestinian schools that teach incitement against Jews. Spicer reiterates that Trump will review all overseas aid.
