President Donald Trump's impact on Long Island


President Donald Trump's first year back in office has affected Long Islanders in many ways, from the tax cuts in his "Big, Beautiful Bill" to cuts in safety net programs and stepped up efforts to oust undocumented people.
After the recent government shutdown idled many federal workers on Long Island and across New York State, Trump has resumed a focus on the economy and immigration. He has boasted of lower prices, even as studies show more Americans are having trouble paying their bills.
Here’s more of what Trump is doing on a range of issues that affect Long Island:
