Mast argued against restoring foreign-aid spending he considers wasteful, citing programs involving transgender events, gender-inclusion activities and condoms for the Taliban. He criticized Democrats who, in his account, support returning to those expenditures.

Context: His examples concern specific expenditures he criticized; he did not describe a broader standard for foreign-aid funding.
