2月11日(路透社)- 四个由民主党领导的州周三提起诉讼,试图阻止特朗普政府终止6亿美元的公共卫生资金。

美国卫生与公众服务部发言人周一表示,这些拨款被终止是因为它们不符合该机构的优先事项。卫生与公众服务部未立即回应有关诉讼的置评请求。
通过疾病控制与预防中心管理的拨款资金用于监测健康威胁、应对疾病暴发和规划公共卫生紧急情况。受影响的项目包括支持艾滋病毒预防和监测的项目。
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普多次试图扣留民主党领导州的资金,尽管这些削减已被下级法院法官阻止。
上个月,一名法官临时阻止特朗普政府冻结五个民主党领导州获得超过100亿美元儿童保育和家庭援助联邦资金的渠道,政府称此举是出于对欺诈的担忧。
特朗普上月警告所谓的”庇护城市或州”,称他将从2月开始停止拨款,称其政策滋生”欺诈、犯罪和所有其他相关问题”。
《纽约邮报》上周首次报道称,特朗普政府预算办公室已指示交通部和疾控中心从一组民主党领导的州追回超过15亿美元资金。

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said on Monday that the grants are being terminated because they do not reflect the agency’s priorities. HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.
The grant funding, administered through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is used to monitor health threats, respond to disease outbreaks, and plan for public health emergencies. The affected programs include those supporting HIV prevention and surveillance.
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly attempted to withhold funding from Democratic-led states, though the cuts have been blocked by lower court judges.

A judge last month temporarily blocked the Trump administration from freezing access by five Democratic-led states to more than $10 billion of federal funds for childcare and family assistance based on what the administration said were concerns about fraud.
Trump last month warned so-called “sanctuary cities or states” that he would begin halting funding in February, saying their policies foment “fraud and crime and all of the other problems that come.”
