President Donald Trump has ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to use \u201call available funds\u201d to pay U.S. troops on Oct. 15, despite the ongoing government shutdown that has threatened military paychecks for 1.3 million active duty service members.<\/p>\n

The federal government shut down on Oct. 1 after lawmakers failed to pass a funding bill. Democrats in the Senate have repeatedly blocked efforts to reopen the government, leading to the first situation in American history where active-duty troops could miss a paycheck.<\/p>\n

Trump said he would not allow that to happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cChuck Schumer recently said, \u2018Every day gets better\u2019 during their Radical Left Shutdown. I DISAGREE!\u201d Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social. \u201cIf nothing is done, because of \u2018Leader\u2019 Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th,\u201d the president continued. \u201cWe have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military, and the entire Security of our Nation, HOSTAGE, with their dangerous Government Shutdown,\u201d Trump added. \u201cThe Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy.\u201d<\/p>\n
