Newsmax Balkans: Trump administration ready to cancel funding for international courts, including in the Balkans
The administration of US President Donald Trump has begun preparations for radical changes in American foreign and judicial policy, including the possible cancellation of funding for international courts and projects that have shaped processes in the Balkans for decades, it has learned. NewsmaxBalkans.
According to information obtained by Newsmax Balkans from reliable sources close to the Trump administration, the process of preparing for one of the sharpest changes in American foreign and judicial policy has already begun in Washington – a complete or drastic reduction in funding for international judicial institutions.
The media's sources point out that over the past few decades, the United States has invested "more than $100 billion" in international courts, specialized chambers, and various judicial funds around the world.
The new US administration believes this model is “outdated,” politically compromised, and financially unsustainable, especially because, as they claim, many of those institutions were used for the foreign policy purposes of previous administrations.
According to senior officials, there is a clear stance at the top of the new administration: America comes first and "should not interfere in the internal problems of other countries," especially when that involvement comes at a cost to American taxpayers.
