Gov. Jeff Landry said he believed President Donald Trump's team was "going back to the drawing board" to streamline federal grant spending.

“Freezing federal grant and loan payments is a direct attack on everyday Louisianians and our most vulnerable communities. This order halts essential funding already approved by Congress—crippling public programs, killing jobs, and sowing chaos across the country.

President Trump signed an executive order freezing federal aid programs and asked the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review all federal funding disbursements until further notice.
