White House rescinds memo on freezing federal grants and loans

The White House says it has rescinded a memo authorising a federal freeze on hundreds of billions of dollars in grants and loans, which sparked widespread panic among millions of people who rely on government aid.
 
It comes after a judge temporarily halted the order on Tuesday, only hours after it was signed by President Donald Trump and the memo announcing it was issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
 
The judge paused the order until next Monday, after a lawsuit was filed by a group of organisations representing grant recipients.
