The Trump administration is still not forking over money for congressionally funded programs ranging from electric vehicle charging to abandoned mine cleanup.

Some recipients of and advocates for these funding programs say the freeze will have significant impacts, delaying — or even fully obstructing — many infrastructure projects.

The White House directed federal agencies to pause “all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance”.
