What is the controversy surrounding USAID's funding in Serbia?
USAID allegedly provided $1.5 million from the Biden administration to an organization in Serbia to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbia's business community and workplaces, with a focus on LGBTQ economic empowerment. This funding has sparked debate about whether such initiatives should be considered a priority for American taxpayers. The controversy centers on questions of appropriate allocation of U.S. foreign aid resources and whether promoting DEI initiatives abroad aligns with USAID's core mission. This case appears alongside other questioned expenditures, including $70,000 for a musical event in Ireland, raising broader concerns about how American taxpayer money is being prioritized in foreign assistance programs.
