Pete Marocco
Pete Marocco is an American government official who was appointed by former President Donald Trump as the head of the Foreign Assistance Bureau at the Department of State. He became prominent in early 2017 when he expressed anger over a $153 million expenditure by USAID that he deemed unusual, especially in light of President Trump's order to freeze foreign aid. Marocco's actions were part of a broader effort to scrutinize and potentially dismantle USAID, reflecting the administration's stance on reducing government spending.
