Sequestration Order for Fiscal Year 2026 Pursuant to Section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as Amended

President Donald Trump issued a sequestration order for Fiscal Year 2026, mandating automatic spending cuts across most non-exempt federal budget accounts starting October 1, 2025. This action, based on the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, aims to reduce the federal deficit, but it could lead to reduced funding for various government services. The order might spark political debate over its impact on essential programs and the broader implications for the U.S. economy.
