Omg don't even get me started on ITER but because its a freaking treaty we are stuck. That being said the Presidents budget request pulls really the max amount they can from ITER and focuses it on American research, projects, facilities.
Even my Democratic colleague was very happy with the fusion budget and the direction of funding
Yeah, at the same time, playing devil's advocate here, luckily one cannot withdraw easily from such a treaty. This kind of global science requires some really long term commitment. Without it, these would never get funded. And trickle down benefits are proven. Magnet technology, huge public contracts,... benefit more than just the LHC or ITER.
