Why Trump push to shut down the Education Department is hitting roadblocks from Congress and his own agenda

Donald Trump’s push to close the US Education Department is facing significant challenges, as his plans clash with legislative requirements and his own policy goals. While Trump aims to reduce federal control over education, Congress has enacted laws mandating the department’s funding and programs, limiting his authority. Internal conflicts, such as new initiatives and his cabinet pick, further complicate the path forward. Trump’s efforts to abolish the department remain uncertain as he navigates these obstacles.
