Condoms for Gaza for $50M? Trump rips Biden’s waste of money

The White House claims that the Biden administration had allocated $50 million for condom distribution in Gaza, a revelation reportedly uncovered by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

Biden official dismisses claim as ‘outlandish’

Former Biden deputy assistant secretary Andrew Miller refuted the claim, calling it a “feverish dream.” He suggested that the funding was likely for broader sexual health initiatives, not condoms alone.

USAID records show global spending

Records from the U.S. Agency for International Development show $60 million spent globally on contraceptives in 2023, but there is no specific evidence of a $50 million Gaza program.
