Trump Says SNAP Benefits Will Be Solved For Next Month
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
President Donald Trump said that he believes Republicans will solve how to fund food stamps, when he was asked about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the government shutdown.
SNAP is slated to expire by Nov. 1, potentially ending benefits for millions of people across the United States.
"We're going to get it done," Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Oct. 29. "The Democrats have caused the problem, unfortunately. All they have to do is sign, and if they sign, I'll meet with them."
The president then suggested that the shutdown is linked to broader talks on health care and an extension of subsidies. Senate Democrats have refused 13 times to pass bills to reopen the government because those measures do not include health care provisions, including an extension of Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare) subsidies slated to expire at the end of the year.
