President Trump moves to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid using a rare pocket rescission, prompting legal challenges and bipartisan backlash. Democrats warn this could complicate funding negotiations.
In a surprising maneuver, the Trump administration has proposed cutting $5 billion in foreign aid using a rare tactic known as pocket rescission, sparking debates on its legality and potential impacts on government operations.
In an unprecedented move, Trump informs House Speaker Mike Johnson he won't spend $4.9 billion in foreign aid, utilizing a 'pocket rescission' to cut funding without Congress's approval.
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to challenge a key budget law, potentially risking a constitutional crisis. With billions in funds delayed, the balance of power between Congress and the White House hangs in the balance.
