Trump, Russ Vought eye more funding cuts

President Trump views the ongoing government shutdown as an "unprecedented opportunity" to cut federal agencies, particularly those run by Democrats, whom he blames for the shutdown. His administration has already halted funding for New York infrastructure and climate projects in Democratic states. Trump plans to meet with OMB Director Russell Vought to identify agencies for "temporary or permanent" cuts, linking this to Project 2025. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Bessent described Democrats' negotiation tactics as "terrorists."
