Trump administration scraps ‘anti-weaponization’ fund for compensating allies, Attorney-General says

The Trump administration has ended a controversial fund intended to compensate foreign allies who were allegedly targeted by U.S. sanctions, amid legal challenges and political opposition. Attorney-General Todd Blanche announced the move, noting the program had faced significant court setbacks and backlash from critics who argued it undermined U.S. sovereignty. This decision highlights the administration's struggle to navigate complex international relations and domestic legal disputes, signaling a shift in how the U.S. handles compensation for allies affected by its own economic measures.
