“We also suspended student-loan payments for six months,” Trump told reporters Thursday, “and we’re looking to do that additionally, and for additional periods of time.”
In March, Trump used his executive authority during a national emergency to waive interest on federal student loans. Later that month, Congress passed the CARES Act, which paused payments and collections on federal student loans and set their interest rate to 0% for six months.
