The Homeland Security Department works to improve the security of the US. The department's work includes customs, border, and immigration enforcement, emergency response to natural and man-made disasters, anti-terrorism work, and cybersecurity.
Since taking office in 2017, Trump has donated a part of his annual presidential salary to various government agencies.
In January, the US President donated USD 100,000 to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which is a part of US National Institutes of Health.
In October last year, he donated a similar amount to the Small Business Administration, a government agency providing support to entrepreneurs and small businesses in the US. (ANI)
