Trump seeks to withhold $800 million approved by Congress
Original: Trump seeks to withhold $800 million in Congress-approved funds
President Trump is moving to withhold roughly $800 million in funding that Congress had already approved, according to reports carried by Reuters and multiple US newspapers. The effort raises fresh questions over executive authority and the separation of powers, as lawmakers from both parties weigh whether the administration can refuse to spend money explicitly appropriated by Congress.
Why now: A direct clash between the White House and Congress over spending power is a major constitutional and political story.
