The Trump White House has rescinded an order that had paused federal grants and loans, which had previously directed agencies to halt funding for foreign aid, NGOs, DEI initiatives, and the Green New Deal. This decision followed a federal court's temporary halt of the initial order, which critics claimed caused confusion and threatened necessary services. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated the rescission aimed to clarify federal policies and counter perceived media misrepresentation. Other executive orders regarding funding remain intact as the administration continues to address issues of government spending.
The Trump administration previously issued a memo directing federal agencies to halt financial assistance for various programs, which has now been rescinded to eliminate confusion.
Karoline Leavitt emphasized that the memo was rescinded to clarify federal policy in light of media misrepresentation and a court ruling halting its implementation.
Despite the rescission, the administration intends to uphold other executive orders on funding and address issues of perceived federal spending waste.
Critics argued that the initial order created confusion and could jeopardize essential services, showcasing the tensions within federal financial policies.
