Pakistan would be among a host of countries barred from getting US funding under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted on Sunday.
Greene’s tweet came soon after President Joe Biden and top congressional Republican Kevin McCarthy reached a tentative deal to raise the federal government’s $31.4 trillion debt ceiling.
The CDC is the national public health agency. The agency’s main goal is the protection of public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability in the US and worldwide.
“Hearing @SpeakerMcCarthy’s soon to be finalised agreement on the debt limit will claw back $400 million from the CDC ‘Global Health Fund’ that sends money overseas to countries like China,” Greene tweeted.
