President Donald Trump’s budget director revealed he is halting billions in federal funding to Army Corps of Engineers projects due to the government shutdown, which stretched into its 17th day on Friday.
The Corps is “immediately pausing” over $11 billion in funding for “lower-priority” projects, including in New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Baltimore, according to White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought. He added that the projects are being considered for permanent cancellation.
