Trump cancels nearly $1 billion in funding without Congress
Original: Trump cancels nearly $1B in funding, bypassing Congress
The Trump administration has moved to cancel nearly $1 billion in federal funding without seeking approval from Congress, according to a report picked up by international outlets. The decision bypasses the legislature's traditional power of the purse, drawing criticism from opponents who call it an overreach of executive authority. Observers are questioning which programs will lose money and what legal challenges may follow.
Why now: The move raises constitutional concerns because spending decisions normally require congressional approval.
