WASHINGTON, D.C.: The U.S. Commerce Department during the week ended about US$4 million in funding to Princeton University for assessing climate-related risks, saying those programs were not aligned with the Trump administration's priorities.
The Commerce Department said in a statement that the decision was taken after a review of financial assistance programs against the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's current objectives. It will reduce the cost and size of the federal government.
The "awards to Princeton are no longer aligned with the program objectives of NOAA ... and are no longer in keeping with the Trump Administration's priorities," the department said.
