Trump administration confirms $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund is no longer viable

June 6, 2026 • Google News World

The Trump administration has submitted written statements to courts indicating that the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund is no longer moving forward. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed court papers confirming this, and is asking judges to reject lawsuits related to the fund.

According to reports, the DOJ has stated in its filings that the anti-weaponization fund is not going ahead as planned. This development comes after Republicans attempted to block the fund’s implementation earlier this month.

The $1.8 billion fund was intended to provide financial assistance to individuals who had been subjected to “weaponization” by foreign governments, including Russia and China. However, its future has now been called into question.

The DOJ’s statements have been made in response to lawsuits filed by various parties, including some of the individuals who were supposed to receive funding from the anti-weaponization fund. The exact details of these lawsuits are not yet clear.

It is worth noting that the Trump administration’s decision to abandon the anti-weaponization fund has been met with varying reactions from lawmakers and advocacy groups. However, at this point, no further information is available on the matter.

The development comes as the US economy continues to experience uncertainty, with recent data suggesting a slowdown in job growth.
