Donald Trump has scrapped his order to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars in federal domestic funding, in a major climbdown following a widespread backlash.
The White House’s Office of Management and Budget issued a two-line memo to executive branch departments and agencies on Wednesday saying the original plan had been dropped.
The revocation came a day after the original order sparked political chaos and mass confusion among politicians from both parties nationwide who were grappling with how their states would be affected.
A federal judge blocked the freeze on Tuesday just minutes before it was set to take effect.
