The administration of US President Donald Trump has asked Congress to allocate an additional $58 million to strengthen security for the executive and judicial branches following a shooting that killed activist Charlie Kirk, APA reports citing Bloomberg.
The funds are intended to be added to a temporary budget, which must be approved by September 30, when the current spending law expires.
The White House also supports the idea of increasing resources for the protection of lawmakers, but the details will be determined by Congress. The shooting at a university event in Utah this week has heightened concerns about the safety of public figures, especially following last year’s assassination attempt on Trump.
