The Trump administration plans to slash terrorism prevention funding for New York City, according to a grant notice posted just days after a gunman killed four people inside a Manhattan skyscraper. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said in a grant notice that the United States’ largest city would receive $64 million less this year from its urban area security fund.
