Amid Schumer's Shutdown, President Trump Gets 'Creative' in Keeping the Women, Infant and Children's Nutritional Program Going"The Democrats are so cruel in their continual votes to shut down the government, they forced the WIC program for the most vulnerable women and children to run out this week. Thankfully, President Trump and the White House have identified a creative solution to transfer resources from Section 232 tariff revenue to this critical program. The Trump White House will not allow impoverished mothers and their babies to go hungry because of the Democrats' political games." -White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt via X.
Upon asking Grok (X's AI) for details, this was its answer: Yes, President Trump did secure funding from tariff revenues—approximating $200 billion—to support the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) during the ongoing government shutdown. This program provides essential food assistance to about 7 million low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children, and it was at risk of running out of funds after its fiscal year 2025 allocation of $7.6 billion expired on September 30, 2025. The Trump administration announced on October 7, 2025, that it would redirect revenue from Section 232 tariffs (primarily 50% duties on steel and aluminum imports) to temporarily sustain WIC operations. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described this as a "creative solution" in a post on X, emphasizing that it prevents vulnerable families from going hungry amid the shutdown, which she attributed to Democratic opposition in Congress. Tariff collections have reached approximately $190 billion in fiscal year 2025 (with $31.7 billion in September alone), aligning closely with the $200 billion figure cited in some reports... Grok noted that critics of Trump's moving of some tariff revenue to fund the WIC program argue that it requires "legislative action." However, the very fact that the government is currently "shutdown," may present a special circumstance. The AI also pointed out that the Supreme Court will be hearing "related challenges to Trump's tariff authority next month." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
