As the government shutdown continues in the USA, Trump's statements about food aid have become a hot topic.

Trump stated on social media that SNAP benefits for low-income Americans would only be provided when the government reopens. This could lead to a crisis affecting 42 million Americans.

The White House spokesperson claimed that despite Trump's statements, the government is complying with court orders. However, it was noted that the process of releasing funds would take time.

Democratic senators criticized Trump's stance, stating that it means punishing the American people with hunger. The government shutdown has reached its 36th day, affecting millions.

Trump's statements indicate that the government shutdown has turned into not just a political crisis but a humanitarian one. Millions of low-income Americans are at risk of not receiving food aid.
