The Trump administration has ended the federal government's annual report on hunger in America, citing concerns about politicization and inaccuracies. This decision follows recent cuts to food aid programs, estimated to impact 3 million people. The USDA claims the report's data is subjective and doesn't reflect the administration's claims of lower poverty rates and economic growth. Critics accuse the administration of suppressing data showing increased hunger under its policies.
