Congressional leaders are voicing strong concerns over what they label President Trump's latest 'power grab' regarding troop pay. According to Politico, Trump is reportedly considering actions that could withhold or reallocate funds designated for service members' salaries, leveraging it to achieve other policy goals.
This potential move has ignited widespread criticism on Capitol Hill, with lawmakers warning against using military compensation as a political bargaining chip. They emphasize the critical need to support our troops and their families. Critics argue it undermines congressional authority and could severely impact the financial stability of thousands of military families nationwide.
