Trump stops funding for life-saving infant heart device research, cancels $6.7 million grant

The Trump administration has revoked a $6.7 million grant for the PediaFlow device, a potentially life-saving heart pump for newborns with congenital defects. Awarded to Cornell University by the Department of Defence, the funding was abruptly cancelled without explanation, jeopardising the project's future. The cuts are part of Trumps directive to shrink the federal government.
