According to an article published by National News on Thursday, September 10, 2021, a group of U.S. senators is raising the possibility of reducing aid to Tunisia.
“The Tunisian president has declared a state of emergency and the state of emergency must end quickly,” Murphy told reporters after a meeting with Said. I have made it clear to the President that it is very difficult for the United States Congress to continue to provide assistance to Tunisia if this crisis continues.”
According to the article, Tunisia quickly became a regional favorite among congressional officials after the 2011 revolution, and members were “happy to spend millions of dollars in U.S. aid,” according to National News.
“Since then, the United States has continued to lose patience as Saied consolidated his authority by decree,” the paper said.
The White House has sent a delegation of senior officials to Tunisia to deliver a letter to Mr. Said from President Joe Biden saying he should appoint a prime minister in charge — something the Tunisian president has so far rejected.
