Utah leaders don’t yet know the full impact of the Trump administration’s memo issued Monday announcing a temporary freeze on federal funds, but they’re bracing for what could be sweeping — or more limited — impacts as more information comes to light.

Utah Senate President Stuart Adams said on Tuesday that the Trump administration’s pause on federal assistance came as a total surprise but that the state is better situated than most if the funding freeze continues.

Advocacy groups for nonprofits, health care and small business fought to block the memo they argued could lead to 'catastrophic' harm cutting funding.
