Trump cancels billions in federal contracts for waste

President Donald Trump's Cabinet has announced the cancellation of several government contracts, totaling billions of dollars. Among the contracts terminated was a $300,000 agreement aimed at educating queer and transgender farmers in San Francisco about food justice. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins discussed the cancellations during a Cabinet meeting. She expressed confusion over the purpose of these contracts, which included another similar agreement in New York. Additionally, a $600,000 Louisiana contract studying the menstrual cycles of transgender men was also scrapped. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum revealed that an $830 million contract for surveys was canceled. He criticized the quality of the surveys, saying they resembled work that could be done by a junior high student. Trump called the contracts "fraud" and praised efforts to identify wasteful spending in the government. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin reported that over $22 billion worth of contracts have been canceled by the EPA. He emphasized the importance of partnerships with groups like Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to achieve these savings. The Cabinet's focus on cutting contracts is part of a larger effort to eliminate unnecessary spending and ensure taxpayer money is used effectively.
