Washington plans to boost funding against Chinese influence
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to increase funding for programs aimed at countering China's growing influence worldwide, after many of these initiatives were halted last year due to budget cuts. A total of $175.8 million will be allocated to improve maritime infrastructure in the Caribbean and Central America, with the goal of limiting China's expansion. This comes amid security concerns over China's economic activities in the Western Hemisphere, especially in ports, infrastructure, and investments in communications. This move is part of efforts to regain support for initiatives to reduce Chinese influence, as President Trump and Xi Jinping prepare to visit the United States this fall.
