Bronx elected officials, advocates, and farmers gathered Tuesday at the Bronx Borough Hall Food Market to denounce the Trump administration’s proposed $300 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), calling it a direct threat to low-income families nationwide—especially in the Bronx.
The proposed cuts, included in the federal budget reconciliation bill backed by congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump, would mark the largest reduction to food assistance in U.S. history.
