Trump revokes order expanding tribal funding rights

President Donald Trump revoked a 2023 executive order that expanded tribal sovereignty and increased Native American access to federal funding. The order, signed by President Joe Biden, aimed to streamline funding for tribal projects, including emergency response, broadband, and environmental initiatives. The impact of Trump’s decision remains unclear, but tribal leaders are monitoring the situation. The revocation was part of a broader rollback of Biden-era policies.
