Trump Administration Funds UK Conservatives Amid Election Meddling Accusations
The US State Department plans to allocate $12 million to UK organizations founded by prominent Conservatives Jacob Rees-Mogg and Toby Young, including $7 million to a think tank focused on “ending mass immigration.” Another $5 million is earmarked for an international free speech group with ties to Toby Young’s organization. A further $3 million is designated for the Jobs Foundation, a UK charity promoting business growth. These proposed grants, revealed in government documents, are part of a larger funding package for European groups favored by the Trump administration, raising concerns among former officials about the misuse of public funds for political influence.
