The administration of United States President Donald Trump will redirect tariff income to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday.
"The Trump White House will not allow impoverished mothers and their babies to go hungry because of the Democrats' political games," she wrote on X, while blaming the Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown. The federal program, which provides food assistance to low-income families, pregnant and breastfeeding women, is set to run out this week, as the shutdown continues to affect federal government agencies.
Earlier today, Trump likened the shutdown to a "kamikaze attack" by the Democrats, while also revealing his administration would use the opportunity to terminate a number of government programs seen as wasteful, as well as cut government jobs.
