Trump moves to cut Congress-approved spending
Original: Trump cuts Congress-backed spending
President Trump is moving to withhold or cut federal spending that Congress had already approved, renewing a long-running dispute over presidential power of the purse. The move puts him at odds with lawmakers from both parties, who control federal budget decisions under the Constitution. Critics describe it as an overreach that undermines Congress's authority, while supporters back efforts to trim spending they consider wasteful.
Why now: A direct clash between the White House and Congress over budget power is a major political story with legal and partisan implications
