Trump Partially Funds SNAP Amid Shutdown

Amidst a U.S. government shutdown, concerns over the distribution of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits have heightened. Millions risk losing food aid due to halted funding. Pressure mounts on Congress as the Trump administration, ordered by judges, plans to use contingency funds to partially restore benefits in November. However, this partial funding may not suffice for many families, prompting increased demand on food banks. Treasury Secretary indicates aid might resume soon, while the political standoff continues, affecting millions nationwide. The situation underscores broader fears of economic strain and political implications if the shutdown persists.
