参议院共和党人阻止720亿美元移民支出法案，以抗议特朗普的“反武器化”基金
Read, Watch or Listen
Washington — Senate Republicans this week blocked key votes and paused a US$72 billion immigration spending bill on May 21 after dozens of GOP senators demanded stricter conditions or elimination of President Donald Trump's US$1.776–1.8 billion 'anti-weaponisation' fund, which he says would compensate alleged victims of political targeting. The revolt also stalled separate funding for a controversial White House ballroom project after Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he lacked Republican votes. Washington reactions were swift: President Trump on May 22 defended the fund on his social platform, calling it justice for those he labels victims of a 'weaponised' Biden administration, while Senate Republicans who broke with him were criticized in public remarks. Democrats pledged to use the immigration bill to challenge the proposal; leaders from both parties said negotiations would continue ahead of the midterm elections.

唐纳德·特朗普总统及其认可的盟友通过提议设立一项17.76亿至18亿美元的“反武器化”基金，用于赔偿所谓的受害者，来强化他们的政治论述，而如果该提案获得通过，基金的潜在受益者可能会获得经济赔偿。
反对该基金的共和党参议员面临党内强烈反对以及特朗普的定向报复的风险，而整个共和党在期中选举前夕面临日益加剧的分裂。
