Trump’s Government slashes $51,000 funding for NZ scientists’ trip to US

The Trump Administration canceled a $51,000 grant for a scientific celebration of 150 years of cooperation between the United States and New Zealand.
Chris Whelan, chief executive of Universities New Zealand, confirmed that there are no plans for an alternative event after the funding cancellation.
Whelan stated that the funding was removed under President Trump's executive order regarding U.S. Foreign aid and provided no other reason for the cancellation.
The celebration was intended to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the United States sending scientists to New Zealand to observe the planet Venus, which dates back to the 1874 transit of Venus.
