Marylands guvernör kritiserar Trump angående Medicare mitt under krig mot Iran

Marylands guvernör Wes Moore kallade president Donald Trumps uttalanden om Medicare och andra förmåner för 'nonsens' och menar att delstaterna inte kan ersätta federal finansiering. Moore talade i CBS 'Face the Nation' på söndagen som svar på Trumps uttalande vid en påsklunch i Vita huset på onsdagen där han prioriterade militära utgifter framför sjukvård. Kritiken kommer samtidigt som Trumps krig mot Iran förblir opopulärt och hans administration står inför politiska utmaningar.

Marylands guvernör Wes Moore kritiserade skarpt president Donald Trump för att ha antytt att den federala regeringen inte kan finansiera Medicare, Medicaid och barnomsorg, och kallade det 'nonsens'. I en intervju som sändes på söndagen i CBS 'Face the Nation' sa Moore: 'Vi vill inte utkämpa utländska krig samtidigt som ni tar ifrån oss vår sjukvård.' Han menade att ingen delstat har budget för att ta på sig sådana ansvarsområden, inklusive att hantera matosäkerhet, mitt under pågående beslut från Vita huset. En video av Trumps uttalanden vid påsklunchen på onsdagen publicerades på nätet av Vita huset men raderades senare. Trump hade uttalat: 'Det är inte möjligt för oss att ta hand om barnomsorg, Medicaid, Medicare, alla dessa enskilda saker. De kan göra det på delstatsnivå. Det går inte att göra det på federal nivå. Vi måste ta hand om en sak: militärt skydd. Vi måste vakta landet.'
