President Donald Trump announced on October 11, 2025, that he has directed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to use available funds to pay active-duty troops on October 15, despite the ongoing government shutdown. The move comes as service members face the risk of missing their first full paychecks amid a funding stalemate between Republicans and Democrats. Trump blamed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats for the impasse.
