The Trump administration has rescinded approximately $8 billion in funding for climate initiatives, predominantly in states that voted Democratic in the 2024 election. This decision follows the freezing of $18 billion for New York City infrastructure projects. Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought criticized the funding as "Green New Scam" to support the "Left's climate agenda." Affected states include California, New York, and others that supported the Democratic nominee. The Department of Energy is expected to release further details.
