ST. PAUL, Minn. — Governor Tim Walz accused President Trump of expanding a personal vendetta against the governor into an attack on needy people. Through a spokesperson Walz said the President is using federal nutritional aid as a political tool. The spokesperson, Claire Lancaster, said the governor “wishes President Trump would be a president for all Americans rather than taking out his political vendettas on the people who need these benefits the most.” Lancaster also noted that Trump has threatened o cut highway funding for Minnesota. “The President is making malicious decisions that will raise prices and harm families.” About SNAP nutritional assistance, the program is a major purchaser of U.S. agricultural products, which means cuts will damage the nation’s farm economy.
