After cuts to food stamps, Trump administration ends government's annual report on hunger in America
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that what Trump calls the "Big Beautiful Bill" means 3 million people would not qualify for food stamps, also known as SNAP benefits.


The Trump administration is ending the federal government's annual report on hunger in America, stating that it had become "overly politicized" and "rife with inaccuracies."


The decision comes two and a half months after President Donald Trump signed legislation sharply reducing food aid to the poor. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the tax and spending cuts bill Republicans muscled through Congress in July means 3 million people would not qualify for food stamps, also known as SNAP benefits.


In a press release Saturday, the USDA said the 2024 report, to be released Oct. 22, would be the last.


"The questions used to collect the data are entirely subjective and do not present an accurate picture of actual food security,'' the USDA said. "The data is rife with inaccuracies slanted to create a narrative that is not representative of what is actually happening in the countryside as we are currently experiencing lower poverty rates, increasing wages, and job growth under the Trump Administration.''
