US EditionTrump administration cancels order for $1 million worth of food for Greater Cleveland Food Bank
- Donald Trump, during his presidency, introduced an exclusive $5 million Gold Card initiative aimed at attracting wealthy individuals to secure US residency and contribute to the economy, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reporting the sales of 1,000 cards in a single day.
- Trump conceived the Gold Card idea during a meeting with investor John Paulson, positioning it as a sophisticated version of the traditional Green Card, offering permanent residency and a route to citizenship.
- Around the same time, in early March, the Trump administration made cuts to federally funded USDA programs that provided food assistance to schools and foodbanks, impacting organizations like River Bend.
- Chris Ford, the President and CEO of River Bend Food Bank, reported that these cuts have already impacted them, with approximately 6% of their food supply being "returned in the system," translating to a significant loss of food and increased pressure on food banks across the United States.
- The Trump administration also canceled orders for commodities destined for food banks nationwide, including in Missouri, Kansas, and Northeast Ohio, with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank facing the impending loss of nearly a million pounds of food and $1 million in value, exacerbating the challenges posed by rising food costs and high food insecurity rates affecting millions of Americans.
