Trump to Drop Plans for $1.8B Anti-Weaponization Fund | Balance of Power: Late Edition 06/01/2026
"Balance of Power: Late Edition" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. On today's show, Kathleen Hicks, former US Deputy Secretary of Defense in the Biden administration, says the path out of the Iran conflict requires experienced negotiators and professional diplomatic teams. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) stresses the need for Congress to move on reconciliation after the Justice Department made what he calls the "right choice" on the $1.8 billion so-called "weaponization" fund. Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) criticizes President Trump's handling of the conflict with Iran, arguing Congress must use its war-powers and spending authority to demand clearer answers from the Pentagon.
