The Hill | Trump orders elimination of student loan debt for thousands of disabled veterans
President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum directing the Department of Education to eliminate all federal student loan debt owed by tens of thousands of severely disabled veterans. Trump said the memo will apply to more than 25,000 veterans who are "completely and permanently" disabled.
Trump signed the directive following a speech to AMVETS at the organization's 75th annual convention in Kentucky. "The debt of these disabled veterans will be entirely erased. It will be gone." Trump said. "Veterans...who have made such enormous sacrifices for our country should not be asked to pay any more". |
