Trump threatens to withhold SNAP benefits despite court order-CNN
President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to withhold critical food aid until the government shutdown is over, despite his administration’s assertion to a court earlier this week that it would continue funding partial benefits.
The benefits provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP, “will be given only when those Radical Left Democrats open up the government, which they can easily do, and not before!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The post comes a day after the administration said it would abide by a court order and tap a roughly $5 billion contingency fund to keep partial benefits flowing into November. The Justice Department, which made the filings, declined to comment.
The White House and the US Department of Agriculture, which oversees SNAP, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
