The Supreme Court of the United States decided on Friday to temporarily suspend an order that requires the Trump administration to provide full payments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for approximately 42 million Americans.

This decision came in the context in which the administration was facing a deadline to ensure full funding for food assistance for the month of November. Some states, such as Wisconsin, have already begun to distribute partial payments to beneficiaries before the court's ruling. This suspension has generated uncertainties regarding food support for millions of people in the upcoming period.
