USA: Trump vows cuts to 'Democrat' agencies on day 3 of shutdown

As the government shutdown stretches into its third day, President Donald Trump has taken a controversial step by freezing $2.1 billion in transit funding for Chicago, a city led by Democrats. This move is part of a broader strategy where Trump's administration has now withheld at least $28 billion from Democratic cities and states, raising concerns about the politicization of federal funding. This situation not only affects public services but also highlights the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and Democratic leaders, making it a significant issue for both local governance and national politics.
