President Trump's "America First" agenda is cutting some or all of the funding to Australian universities. Australian universities rely heavily on funding from the US government for their research, receiving about $400,000,000 in 2024.

Has the US ever received any return on that investment?

Us knowing the benefits of United States’ monies gifted (regularly) to any foreign universities was of little importance to the Powers-that-were, let alone other massive $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ assignments that are being revealed by the Trump administration for various foreign endeavors.

If they think our asking these questions verges on foreign interference, then fund the research projects yourself Australia. Or better yet get the money from China and see what they want in return.
$400 million for researchers in Australia? For what cause? Funny how the article won't list the research projects.
