  • Welcome, once again, to our live coverage of the Trump administration's tone-setting and rather frenetic early weeks.

The article from news.com.au discusses the ongoing confusion and political fallout surrounding former U.S. President Donald Trump's directive to freeze government funding. This directive, issued in the final days of his presidency, has led to significant uncertainty about its legality and implications.

The situation remains fluid, with legal experts and government officials debating the scope and enforceability of Trump's executive actions.
