The White House said Tuesday it will use money from tariff revenue to fund a supplemental nutrition program facing a funding shortage amid the ongoing government shutdown.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on the social platform X that President Trump and the White House had identified the "creative solution" to shift tariff funds to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, commonly known as WIC, which was set to run out of money in the coming days.

"The Trump White House will not allow impoverished mothers and their babies to go hungry because of the Democrats' political games," Leavitt said.
