The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, stated that a wealthy private donor has provided $130 million to the US government to cover potential shortfalls in military pay due to the ongoing government shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at a White House event, Trump praised the donor as a “patriot” and a “friend,” but declined to reveal his identity, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He called us the other day and said, ‘I would like to contribute toward any shortfall you may have due to the Democrats’ shutdown… because I love the military and I love the country,'” Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The administration is under increasing pressure to ensure active-duty soldiers are paid despite the budgetary stalemate, Reuters notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump had earlier signed an executive order allowing the Pentagon to reallocate unspent research funds for the purpose of paying military salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Speaker Mike Johnson assessed that this was a temporary solution and warned that soldiers could soon go without pay if Congress does not pass a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work of the US federal government has been partially suspended since October 1 due to lawmakers’ disagreements over a new budget, with disputes over healthcare subsidies at the center of the blockade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
