Former President Donald Trump said he will bring back a $1.8 billion fund that aims to stop weapons from being made or spread. He wrote on social media that the fund will be “back on the table” and that he will get it done. The comment came while senators are stuck in a disagreement over other bills, making the Senate work slowly. The fund is called the “anti‑weaponisation” fund and was created to help countries keep weapons under control.
