WHOA: Rwanda’s President Shocks CNN Reporter With a Surprising Take on President Trump’s Dismantling of USAID (VIDEO)

by Cullen Linebarger Feb. 8, 2025

 

The leader of one of the world’s poorest countries proved this week that he has more common sense than most Democrats or corporate media journalists in America when it comes to USAID.

 

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, USAID has been in the crosshairs for the past week, given the billions of dollars of waste exposed by DOGE. Some of the examples exposed have been absolutely stunning.

 

In one instance, the agency funneled $5 billion in 2014 to ignite riots in Ukraine, according to RFK Jr.

 

Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame sat down with CNN international correspondent Larry Madowo for an interview to discuss various topics affecting the African country. This included President Trump’s efforts to eliminate the corrupt USAID money pit.

Despite the fact that eliminating USAID would mean less money for Rwanda, Kagame surprisingly praised Trump and noted that they had common ground on several issues.

“President Trump has unconventional ways of doing things… I completely agree with him on many things,” Kagame explained.

 

The CNN reporter did not expect this response and tried to ‘educate’ him on Rwanda’s dependence on America.

 

“Even though it will hurt you, as Rwanda depends on some U.S. aid to fund your healthcare and development?” a stunned Madowo replied.

 

“I think from being hurt, we might learn some lessons,” Kagame replied.

Kagame rightly believes his nation will be better off if it exhibits self-reliance rather than bending to the whims of woke, globalist Western bureaucrats.

 

How refreshing.

EU Approves Insect-Infused Food: Mealworms in Bread and Pastries Now Permitted

6 February 2025

 

Brussels, Belgium – In a controversial move, the European Union has approved Regulation (EU) 2025/89, allowing the use of insects as ingredients in common food products such as bread, pastries, cheese, jam, and pasta. The regulation, signed into law by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, permits the use of UV-treated yellow mealworm powder in food production across the bloc.

 

Mealworms in Everyday Foods

The regulation allows companies to market powder derived from the larvae of the Tenebrio molitor, commonly known as the yellow mealworm. Under the new law, up to 4 grams of mealworms per 100 grams of bread and 3.5 grams per 100 grams of pastries are now legally permitted.

 

This measure is part of the EU’s broader push to introduce alternative protein sources and reduce reliance on traditional livestock. According to the European Commission, meat consumption needs to be curbed in order to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040.

Public Concerns Over Digestibility and Transparency

 

While the EU promotes insects as a sustainable protein source, critics point to serious health concerns. The exoskeletons of insects contain chitin, a substance that is difficult for humans to digest and may hinder the absorption of essential nutrients.

 

Furthermore, there are growing fears that consumers may not always be clearly informed when insects are included in their food. Without strict labeling regulations, mealworm powder could be disguised under vague ingredient terms, leaving buyers unaware of what they are consuming.

 

A Shift in the European Food Supply

The move comes amid increasing efforts by the European Commission to phase out traditional agriculture in favor of lab-grown meat, synthetic proteins, and insect-based alternatives. The EU’s Novel Foods Team Leader, Rafael Perez Berbejal, has stated that insects could play a key role in diversifying the European diet and reducing dependence on conventional livestock farming.

 

However, opposition to the measure is growing, with critics arguing that food choices should be left to the public rather than dictated by top-down regulatory policies.

 

Consumer Backlash and Next Steps

The approval of mealworm powder in food has already sparked a strong response from consumers, with many questioning why such drastic changes are being implemented without public consultation.

 

Concerned citizens are now being urged to carefully check ingredient lists for terms like “mealworm powder,” “Tenebrio molitor,” or vague references to alternative protein sources. Some groups are also calling for stricter labeling laws to ensure transparency in food products.

 

What Lies Ahead?

As the EU continues its push toward insect-based food, questions remain: Will consumers accept this shift, or will there be widespread resistance? And how far will regulators go in reshaping diets across Europe?

 

For now, one thing is clear—mealworms are no longer just for birds and reptiles. They’re now in your bread, too.
