Trump administration demands think tanks disclose foreign funding

 "The Trump administration is demanding that U.S. think tanks and academic institutions publicly disclose what funding they receive from foreign governments or otherwise risk losing access to State Department officials.

The move, unveiled in a statement Tuesday by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, comes amid growing bipartisan concern about the role outside governments, ranging from China to the United Arab Emirates, play in shaping academic and policy debates in the United States."

This was covered in the Freeman reading for class today. His final policy solution was that think tanks should be required by law to disclose foreign funding.
