Trump cancels nearly $1 billion in Congress-approved spending

The White House announced on Friday that President Trump is canceling nearly $1 billion in spending already approved by Congress. The administration is using a rare and legally contested power to rescind the funds, targeting money allocated for immigrant services and diversity-focused initiatives. The move, carried out through the Office of Management and Budget, is expected to trigger legal and political challenges over presidential authority to undo appropriations.
Why now: The scale of the rescission and its contested legality under federal budget law make it a major escalation in the fight over congressional spending power.
