'The best part of my job is telling stories that yearn to be told.'
CHULA VISTA — Local workers at a boat yard in Chula Vista are facing potential layoffs following President Donald Trump ’s executive order pausing foreign aid , which has halted a multi-million dollar boat building contract with the U.S. Navy .According to a memo from the Department of the Navy obtained by ABC 10News, a stop-work order was issued last week to Marine Group Boat Works, directing the company to halt production on two 35-meter patrol boats being constructed for Jordan , a key U.S. ally.
'I think this was used by the president as a bargaining chip to try and promote his views on what should happen in the Middle East, namely that Jordan and Egypt should take Palestinian refugees while Gaza gets rebuilt,' Bee said.President Trump has previously threatened to withhold aid to Jordan unless the country agrees to accept refugees as part of his plan for Gaza's redevelopment. Jordan currently receives over $1 billion annually in U.S. aid.
