U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to abandon his proposed $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, which aimed to support his political allies. The decision comes in the wake of legal obstacles and internal party resistance, Axios reported on Monday.
The move faced significant challenges after a court intervened and halted its progress. Moreover, the initiative saw pushback from some bipartisan members, complicating its future.
"It's dead for now," a senior administration official told Axios, indicating the plan's uncertain fate amid the mounting opposition.
