Trump Administration Cancels Annual Hunger Report Amid Rising Food Insecurity and Cuts to Food Assistance Programs

In a controversial move, the Trump administration has decided to terminate the annual report on hunger in America, a key survey that measured food insecurity and access to adequate nutrition for millions of Americans. This decision comes shortly after significant cuts to the nation’s safety net programs, including food stamps (SNAP), raising concerns among advocates about the implications for food security. Officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) claimed the survey had become overly politicized and redundant, while critics argue this cancellation undermines efforts to understand and address hunger in the country during a time of increasing food insecurity.
