BRATISLAVA, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on Monday unveiled a letter addressed to Elon Musk, head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, requesting details on U.S. grants provided to Slovak non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and media outlets.
In the letter shared on social media, Fico expressed concerns over "the misuse of foreign funds in Slovakia to disadvantage part of the political spectrum," adding he expects to meet Musk in person.
To distinguish between beneficial projects and what he described as "blatant interference in Slovakia's internal affairs," Fico urged Musk to facilitate access to information regarding grants and funding allocated by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to NGOs, media organizations, and individual journalists in Slovakia.
In January, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a decree suspending all foreign aid provided by USAID for 90 days and later granted several exceptions. ■
