White House Redirects Tariff Money to SNAP

The White House has announced plans to redirect tariff revenue generated under President Donald Trump to sustain the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) during the ongoing government shutdown. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the initiative as a “creative solution” to bridge funding shortfalls for low-income families, amid concerns that WIC—serving nearly 7 million participants with vouchers for infant formula and nutritious foods—could deplete its resources without congressional action.

The proposal has drawn mixed reactions, with advocates welcoming short-term relief but questioning its long-term viability and legal mechanics.
