Multiple outlets report that US President Donald Trump reverses a proposal described as a $2.5 billion “slush fund” for supporters, after criticism from within the Republican Party. The decision is presented as a backdown from an earlier position in which Trump said he “gave up a lot of money” so the so-called Anti-Weaponisation Fund could proceed. While outlets describe the plan in partisan terms—referring to it as a “slush fund for MAGA allies”—they also agree on the core sequence of events: the funding is scaled back or removed following internal backlash, and Trump had previously indicated he was allowing the fund to move forward by foregoing other money. One outlet (Stuff.co.nz) reports the figure as $3 billion, while others cite $2.5 billion. The reporting indicates the change occurs in response to Republican concerns, but does not provide consistent detail across sources on the specific reasons or the mechanism by which the funding is withdrawn. The accounts collectively describe the latest move as a reversal related to the fate of the Anti-Weaponisation Fund.
