Nancy Mace draws White House ire over independent Middle East rescue efforts

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The White House is reportedly frustrated with Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace for allegedly interfering with official efforts to evacuate Americans from the Middle East. Mace traveled to the region and engaged with foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia, without coordinating with the State Department. She also purportedly encouraged a group of Americans to move to Jordan without securing onward travel, requiring the State Department to intervene. White House officials claim Mace's independent actions complicated the already challenging evacuation process, especially after several countries closed their airspace due to regional conflict. The White House suggests Mace is exploiting the situation for political gain as she is currently running for South Carolina governor.
