The Trump administration has reversed its controversial order to freeze federal aid spending. The freeze, announced earlier this week, faced widespread criticism from lawmakers and states over concerns it would disrupt essential services like Medicaid and veteran support programs.
Democratic-led states filed legal challenges, and Senate Democrats blocked key votes in retaliation. Critics called the move unconstitutional, while administration officials struggled to clarify its scope.
The reversal aims to ease tensions as debate over federal spending continues.
