特朗普政府称其仅依据2024年大选投票情况削减州政府拨款
据《纽约时报》报道,联邦官员在法庭文件中表示,他们“仅仅依据”各州在2024年大选中是否支持唐纳德·特朗普,便叫停了数十亿美元的能源项目拨款。《圣保罗页报》报道称,去年10月取消的拜登时期联邦清洁能源项目拨款超过75亿美元,而特朗普政府将此举描述为一项紧急纠正措施,旨在保护公共资金。

Trump administration admits cutting $7.5bn from states that voted against him
当前进展
The dispute over billions of dollars in cancelled clean energy grants has shifted from a question of budget priorities to one of open political criteria. In court documents, federal officials stated that funding for energy projects was halted "based solely" on whether the states in question backed Donald Trump in the 2024 election, according to the New York Times. That acknowledgment cuts against the administration's own public framing of the decision, which had been presented as an urgent correction needed to protect public money. The cancellation at issue, carried out in October, covered more than $7.5 billion in Biden-era federal grants for clean energy projects, as reported by Folha de S.Paulo. With the electoral rationale now stated in the administration's own filings, the matter rests with the courts, where the affected states' challenge to the cuts is being litigated. The immediate consequences for the individual projects, and how judges will weigh the stated criterion, remain unresolved on the basis of the available reporting.
In October, the Trump administration cancelled more than $7.5 billion in federal grants awarded under Joe Biden for clean energy projects, according to Folha de S.Paulo. At the time, the administration described the move as an urgent measure to safeguard public money. The decision was challenged in court by affected states, and the resulting filings have become the central source of information about how the cuts were decided. In those documents, federal officials said the funding was halted "based solely" on which states voted for Trump in the 2024 election, as reported by the New York Times.
