How Trump’s “America First” Administration Could Shut U.S. Scientists Out of the Next Nobel-Worthy Discovery

The Trump administration's proposed rule could restrict international scientific collaboration, potentially excluding U.S. scientists from major discoveries like the 2012 Higgs boson detection. The rule would grant political appointees control over research funding and termination, risking U.S. leadership in global scientific efforts. University of Chicago professor David W. Miller warned this could force the U.S. to 'step aside' from future breakthroughs.
