President Donald Trump sent a document to governmental agencies on Tuesday directing the heads of professional departments to exhibit “radical transparency” regarding “wasteful investing” by the federal government.
On Tuesday, the White House warned that the U.S. government is currently spending” too much money” on programs, contracts, and grants that do not promote the interests of the American people in Trump’s” Radical Transparency About Wasteful Spending” memorandum.
Trump continued,” For too long, taxpayers have subsidized intellectual projects abroad and local organizations that engaged in behaviors that lacked national interest.” The American people’s tax dollars have been spent on unelected bureaucrats ‘ passion projects rather than on national attention jobs.
The 47th leader noted that American citizens “have a right” to understand how the U. S. state has “wasted their hard-earned income” prior to the Trump presidency. In light of that “right”, Trump directed the leaders of the professional departments and agencies to “take all appropriate actions to create people” the full details regarding every system, offer, agreement, or other obligation that has been terminated by the administration.
In Tuesday’s document, Trump instructed federal agencies to “ensure that for publishing occurs in accordance with all relevant laws, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the main contract, offer, or another award”.

Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO, and the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), who have been exposing waste and cutting spending throughout the federal government, are receiving the president’s memorandum to the heads of executive departments and agencies.
In a fact sheet issued by the White House in support of Tuesday’s document, the Trump presidency emphasized that the president promised during the 2024 plan to “return energy” to American citizens by” cleaning out the Deep State, firing scoundrel bureaucrats and profession politicians, and targeting state corruption”.
The White House shared multiple examples of “wasteful spending” under the previous administration, including billions of dollars on electric vehicle charging stations,$ 50 million in an environmental justice grant to an organization that claims” climate justice travels through a Free Palestine”,$ 4.6 million sent to foreign organizations to promote LGBTQ projects,$ 20 billion “parked at a financial institution by the Biden Administration to fund partisan pet projects”, and$ 1.9 billion that was “misplaced” by the Biden-Harris administration.
The Trump Administration is aggressively looking into Biden-era initiatives that have squandered billions of taxpayer dollars on ineffective and politically motivated projects, including canceling unnecessary government contracts and grants that do not serve the public interest, according to the White House.
