U.S. troops receive pay this week after Trump and Hegseth intervene

by

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—As the federal government shutdown ensues, President Donald Trump announced Saturday his administration will pay U.S. service members so they would not miss their Oct. 15 paycheck.

Trump said his administration has identified funding to pay the 1.3 million active duty troops expected to miss their next paycheck and will direct Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to ensure they are paid. The announcement comes as Senate Democrats continue to drag their feet in reopening the government.
