The White House will be asking Congress for a $5 billion anti-terrorism fund to help train other countries and form alliances.
The fund is part of a planned supplemental budget request for the Defense Department that will reflect President Barack Obama’s decisions to pull troops out of Afghanistan, increase aid to the Syrian opposition and other shifts in U.S. foreign policy, according to a White House fact sheet made public today.
