"News broke Thursday that Federal District Court Judge John McConnell of Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits in full by Friday, which the administration is appealing. Hours later, at a photo op with the leaders of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, Heinrich confronted Trump about the ruling and the appeal, and their impact on Americans."
"And you know, one other thing, our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars, could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away based on a number. Here's an example. When I was president, the number that you're talking about was a tiny fraction of what it is now.

Federal District Court Judge John McConnell ordered the administration to pay SNAP benefits in full by Friday, and the administration is appealing. At a photo op with Central Asian leaders, a Fox News correspondent asked about the ruling and its impact ahead of Thanksgiving.

President Donald Trump argued the country must remain very liquid for potential catastrophes, wars, or other problems and said funds cannot be given away based on a number. He also criticized expanded SNAP enrollment during the Biden administration.
