US President Donald Trump announced that he will ensure U.S. troops receive their paychecks on October 15, despite the ongoing government shutdown that began on October 1. The shutdown was triggered by congressional Democrats.
Trump stated he is using his authority as Commander-in-Chief to direct Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to reallocate available funds for military pay. He emphasized, "I will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military... HOSTAGE." This statement comes in response to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer"s assertion that "Every day gets better" during the impasse, which threatens to delay pay for approximately 1.3 million service members.
The government shutdown has already impacted various federal operations, with over 4,200 federal workers receiving layoff notices as reported in previous reports.
As the situation develops, the administration"s actions aim to mitigate the effects of the shutdown on military personnel.
