Trump Directs Agencies to Review, Terminate 'Unnecessary' Contracts
U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order aims to implement the Department of Government Efficiency's cost-cutting drive by transforming federal spending on contracts, grants and loans to ensure transparency and accountability. The order directs all federal agencies to review contracts and grants for "waste, fraud and abuse," with the goal of terminating unnecessary contracts. This move is part of a broader effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency within the government.
