Washington • Sen. Mitt Romney was among several colleagues on Wednesday to raise concerns about why the Trump administration temporarily withheld some $105 million in aid to Lebanon with questions swirling about whether the White House move was akin to previous efforts to condition military funding to Ukraine.
Romney, a Utah Republican and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee overseeing parts of Asia and the Middle East, quizzed a top State Department official on why the administration delayed sending the aid to the Lebanese armed forces (LAF).
