Democratic Senator Chris Murphy has accused the Trump administration of blocking his access to a US base as part of a cover-up related to the Iran war, according to CBS News.
The Trump administration has taken steps to reduce the number of foreign-born people in the US and curtail their pathway to residence and citizenship. The administration has suspended Microsoft, major IT outsourcers, and software maker Adobe from a key green-card program, citing a crackdown on fraud and protection of American jobs.
Separately, changes to a rural energy program introduced by the Trump administration will make it harder for farmers to access funds for projects such as solar arrays and energy efficiency initiatives. The Rural Energy for America Program, or REAP, has helped fund over 19,000 energy projects by American farmers and small business owners in the last decade, investing over $4.8 billion in renewable energy and energy efficiency projects between 2014 and 2025.
