Trump cancels nearly $1 billion in Congress-approved spending
Original: Trump cancels nearly $1 billion in spending approved by Congress, a move some lawmakers called illegal
The Trump administration has moved to cancel close to $1 billion in federal spending that had already been approved by Congress. Several lawmakers say the move is illegal because it bypasses Congress's constitutional power of the purse. The cancellation is expected to trigger legal challenges and deepen disputes between the White House and legislators over control of federal funds.
Why now: The cancellation of congressionally approved funds raises constitutional questions and is likely to provoke legal and political conflict.
