Washington (AP) – The budget office of President Donald Trump revoked the order he had given to freeze federal aid, after two days of confusion and judicial demands in various parts of the country, two people aware of the issue reported.
The order of the White House Administration and Budget (WBO) had unleashed uncertainty about the financing of states, schools and other public organizations that depend on Billion dollars from Washington.
The controversy left the White House in trouble to explain what would be and what would not be subject to the suspension of financing.
People, who spoke under anonymity to discuss internal issues, confirmed that the OMB withdrew the order on Wednesday in a notice of two phrases to the agencies and departments.
The Democrats quickly celebrated the revocation.
“This is an important victory for the American people whose voices were heard after a massive pressure from each corner of this country – real people made the difference when expressing themselves,” said Democratic Senator Patty Murray.
“Even so, the Trump administration – through a combination of pure incompetence, cruel intentions and a deliberate contempt by law – caught real damage and chaos for millions during the last 48 hours that still continue.”
