(Washington D.C.) - An order from President Donald Trump to freeze spending on federal grants and loans has been rescinded.

 

The decision comes as a relief from officials in state and local governments along with other groups relying on federal dollars that those future monies could be at-risk.

 

Administration officials previously stated the notice to halt loans and grants was necessary to conduct a review to ensure that spending complies with Trump’s recent blitz of executive orders.

 

The freeze was scheduled to go into effect at 5 p.m. Tuesday, but was stayed by a federal judge until at least Monday.

 

“This action should effectively end the court case and allow the government to focus on enforcing the President’s orders on controlling federal spending," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
