Congressman Greg Steube, who represents Florida's 17th congressional district, posted a series of tweets on July 16, 2025, expressing support for former President Donald Trump and legislative efforts concerning U.S. foreign aid.
In a tweet posted at 02:00 UTC on July 16, Steube stated, "I always knew Trump would make a great Speaker too! https://t.co/LmodM7RQFF https://t.co/ZuuwBYx2NN".
Later the same day at 13:26 UTC, Steube commented on recent legislative activity in Congress by writing, "Trump’s rescissions package puts America First. Senate Republicans need to do the same.
I already introduced a bill to abolish USAID and protect your tax dollars from bankrolling woke pet projects in foreign countries.
The House already passed President Trump’s $9.4 billion https://t.co/Gazg4tBb9V".
Immediately following that post, Steube shared a link to additional reporting with the message: "Full story via @DailyCaller: https://t.co/2NLSymOXT9".
USAID (the United States Agency for International Development) is an independent federal agency responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance. Calls to abolish or reform USAID have been raised by some lawmakers who argue that its funding sometimes supports initiatives they consider misaligned with their policy preferences or fiscal priorities. The rescissions package referenced by Steube is part of ongoing debates about U.S. government spending and foreign aid allocations in Congress.
