U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that critical programs handled by the Education Department for student loans and nutrition would be transferred to other departments.
President Trump initiated the transfer of student loan and nutrition programs from the U.S. Education Department to the Small Business Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services, respectively, aiming to dismantle the agency. While facing opposition and requiring Congressional approval for a full closure, the administration's actions aim to reduce the Education Department's role and size, a move supported by conservatives but criticized by Democrats who value the department's services.
