Trump Issues Reversal on Federal Funding Freeze Amid National Confusion

President Trump retracts his executive order to freeze federal grants and loans, which had caused nationwide disruptions, particularly within the Medicaid system.


In a notable policy shift, President Trump's administration announced the reversal of his previous order to freeze billions in federal funding, a decision that triggered widespread confusion and criticism. Just days prior, a federal judge intervened, temporarily blocking the freeze that disrupted essential services like Medicaid for millions of low-income Americans. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that the executive orders related to federal funding would remain in effect, despite the recent pullback. The spent federal funding freeze has ignited a political storm, with Democrats viewing the reversal as a win. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's controversial pick for health secretary, faced skepticism during his confirmation hearings, grappling with his history of vaccine skepticism and conspiracy theories. In related news, Trump also directed his administration to prepare for housing an influx of 30,000 undocumented immigrants at Guantanamo Bay, reflecting ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policy.
