## Caption

A whopping $170 million war chest passed by Congress to crush China's illegal fishing operations was left completely untouched by the Trump administration, an explosive new report reveals. Lawmakers carved out the massive sum inside the GOP's flagship One Big Beautiful Bill Act, intending to neutralize Beijing's shadowy maritime aggression – a growing menace that defense officials warn poses a serious threat to US national security. Instead of deploying the millions to rein in Beijing, Trump officials sat on the money and failed to spend a single dime on the initiative, according to Punchbowl News. The Department of Homeland Security quietly hijacked almost the entire fortune, using a majority of the funds into security for sporting spectacles – including FIFA World Cup matches, America's 250th birthday celebrations and more. The changes in funds took place under former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Senate Commerce Committee Boss Ted Cruz was the mastermind who originally locked down the $170 million stash, earmarking it for cutting–edge 'maritime domain awareness' technology to hunt down Chinese ships. Now, the top Republican is speaking out after watching his high–tech defense plan get repurposed. #news #scandal #politics #kristinoem #china
