María Elvira Salazar U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 27th district | Official U.S. House Headshot
Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congress member representing Florida's 27th district since 2021, recently posted a series of tweets addressing issues related to foreign assistance programs and trade policies under the leadership of former President Donald Trump. The tweets emphasize her stance on financial waste and international commerce.
On February 10, 2025, Rep. Salazar tweeted: " President Trump and @elonmusk unmasked the BILLIONS of YOUR MONEY wasted by USAID for a woke agenda. It’s time to FIX our foreign assistance programs and return them to their core functions: Secure, strengthen, and bring prosperity to America! " In this post, she calls for reform in foreign assistance programs to better serve America's interests.
In a follow-up tweet on the same day, Rep. Salazar reiterated her point in Spanish: "El presidente Trump y @elonmusk desenmascararon MILES DE MILLONES DE DÓLARES desperdiciados por USAID para una agenda progresista. Es hora de ARREGLAR los programas de ayuda al extranjero y darles sus funciones reales: ¡Asegurar, fortalecer y traer prosperidad a EE. UU.! " This tweet mirrors her earlier message about the need for realignment of USAID's objectives.
Later that day, Rep. Salazar expressed support for Trump's trade policy: "Trading with the United States is a privilege, not a right. President Trump’s America First trade policy will advance our priorities abroad and grow prosperity at home! " She highlights the importance of prioritizing American interests in international trade agreements.
