AITAH for not collaborating with my boss who refuses to cover training costs?

My boss wanted me to guide a trip in Japan.

This required significant travel and research prior to leading it.

He said that he is willing to pay for half of the expenses for this training.

I told him I will only work for him if he paid for all training costs on top of my salary.

This man was told that he was not a team player.

Boss then proceeded to say that I am not a team player.

He said that I have an uncooperative attitude that is aggressive.

I responded by saying that part of maintaining healthy professional relationships involves providing the financial resources needed for mandatory training.

This fosters a productive work environment.
