Why rescission Is Trending Today?

President Donald Trump has inserted himself into the ongoing GOP-Dem shutdown battle by proposing a series of spending cuts, known as rescissions, targeting unspent funds from previously approved legislation. The move, which includes cuts to the Children's Health Insurance Program and other areas, has drawn criticism from Democrats and some Republicans, who argue that it undermines the recent budget deal and could lead to another government shutdown.

The White House, under President Trump, has initiated a 'pocket rescission', a rare budget maneuver, to halt $4.9 billion in foreign aid. This move has been criticized by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who blasted it as illegal and unusual. The administration aims to use this method to slash billions in foreign aid, with Trump specifically targeting $5 billion.
