Pence Calls for Dropping Trump Administrations Weaponization Fund

Former US Vice President Mike Pence has expressed his hope that the Trump administration will discontinue the “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” a $1.8 billion settlement fund established by the previous administration.

The fund, which was created to settle lawsuits related to the use of military equipment and technology, has been the subject of controversy within the White House. Pence stated that he finds the name of the fund “deeply offensive.”

Congressional lawmakers have expressed concerns about the fund’s purpose and its potential impact on national security. The Washington Post reported that Congress can take several steps to rein in the fund’s spending, including passing legislation to limit its use.

Forbes listed some of the organizations that have applied for funding from the Anti-Weaponization Fund, including companies involved in the production and sale of military equipment.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published an exclusive report on the controversy surrounding the fund, citing concerns within the White House about its purpose and potential implications for national security.
