The State Department portion of foreign aid. We find cooperation. State Department people have been great, and we're issuing waivers and we're getting input and it's working. We go to USAID, which is a big chunk of foreign aid, $40 billion or so. They're completely uncooperative. They won't tell you what the programs are. They refuse to answer questions. They try to push through payments. Even after the executive order, they were still trying to push money through the system. (04:17–04:23)
