Pressed on Court's SNAP Ruling, Trump Insists US Must 'Remain Liquid'

President Donald Trump said Thursday the United States needed to "remain very liquid" to handle unexpected crises, responding to a court ruling earlier in the day ordering his administration to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by Friday.

"Our country has to remain very liquid because problems — catastrophes, wars, could be anything," Trump told reporters at the White House. "We can't give everything away based on a number."
