Trump repeats debunked claim that Biden earmarked $100 million for condoms for Hamas
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump again falsely claims that the previous administration of Joe Biden had allocated $100 million in condoms for Hamas.
Trump highlights the figure while going through what he says is the wasteful spending exposed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency during a speech at the FII PRIORITY Summit in Florida.
Last week, Musk admitted that the funds for contraceptives were not earmarked for Hamas and not earmarked for the Gaza Strip either, rather for a province in Mozambique.
The White House first claimed that the figure was $50 million, but Trump has since twice claimed that it is $100 million.
