Trump cancels nearly $1 billion in Congress-approved spending

The White House announced it is canceling nearly $1 billion in spending previously approved by Congress, using a maneuver known as a pocket rescission. The cuts include $95 million in education funds supporting immigrant students and international scholars, along with $28 million in other programs. Some lawmakers say the move is illegal, setting up a likely fight over presidential authority over money Congress has already appropriated.
Why now: Lawmakers and observers are reacting to the legality of an unusual pocket rescission cutting funds already approved by Congress.
