President Donald Trump said he intends to withhold federal funding from Minnesota, California, and Illinois, citing what he described as failures by state leadership and contrasting those states’ governance with crime reductions he attributed to his administration.
Trump made the remarks while discussing federal payments and state responsibilities, focusing first on Minnesota.
He said the state was not contributing to federal payments and that his administration would no longer cover those costs.
“From Minnesota and from the United States. It’s actually more from the United States, because Minnesota puts it and we’re not going to pay it anymore,” Trump said.
“We’re going to have Walz go pay, we’re not going to pay them.”
