President Donald Trump announced that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will only be provided once the U.S. government is reopened. This statement was made amid ongoing government shutdown discussions.
Currently, over 40 million Americans rely on SNAP, with approximately $8.2 billion in monthly benefits now frozen due to the shutdown. The situation has raised concerns among those dependent on these benefits for food assistance.
This announcement comes as part of broader discussions regarding government operations and funding. For more on related coverage, see recent developments in government funding.
