Sarasota Review

Congressman Greg Steube, representing Florida's 17th district, recently expressed his views on two significant actions taken by former President Donald Trump. Steube, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress since 2019 after replacing Tom Rooney, shared his opinions through a series of tweets on January 22, 2025.

In a tweet posted at 17:03 UTC, Congressman Steube endorsed President Trump's executive order aimed at pausing foreign payments. He stated that this move exemplifies the "America First leadership we need," and criticized the allocation of billions to foreign countries while Americans affected by disasters remain unsupported. Steube highlighted his introduction of the STAND Act as a measure to halt such practices. "President Trump’s executive order to pause foreign payments is exactly the America First leadership we need..."

Later that day, at 21:17 UTC, Steube tweeted about another decision made by Trump regarding security clearances. The former president revoked the security clearances of 51 former intelligence officials who had claimed Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation" prior to the 2020 election. Steube praised this action as fulfilling promises and emphasized accountability for these officials. "President Trump has revoked the security clearances of 51 former intelligence officials who falsely claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was 'Russian disinformation' days before the 2020 election..."

Additionally, Steube provided further information related to these developments in another tweet posted simultaneously with his statement on security clearances. "More here: https://t.co/lbU3K6nWpt"
