President Donald Trump took decisive action on Friday, directing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to ensure that America’s troops receive their pay on October 15 — despite the government being shut down. The move is a direct response to what Trump has called the “Radical Left Shutdown” that has put 1.3 million active-duty service members’ paychecks on the line.
