U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Tuesday the cancellation of $214 million in funding previously allocated to 139 organizations outside the United States across various fields.

In a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Rubio stated: "Under my direction, the U.S. State Department has canceled an additional 139 grants worth $214 million. American taxpayers should not be funding misleading programs."

He highlighted that among the prominent organizations affected by the funding cuts were:

• *"The Migrant Domestic Workers' Movement," which advocates for the rights of foreign domestic workers in Lebanon from various countries.

• "Take the Monsters Out," a UK-based organization combating religious hatred.

Rubio emphasized that his department is "fixing the mess left by the previous administration while building a State Department that prioritizes America First."
