Forbes: Trump’s Presidency And Student Loans: What Move To Small Business Administration Means For Borrowers
President Trump announced plans to transfer the federal student loans portfolio from the Department of Education to the Small Business Administration (SBA), following an executive order to minimize the Education Department. This move may complicate loan processing and create potential errors during the transition.

Trump's administration is also reviewing various student loan programs and has paused applications for income-driven repayment plans, signaling significant changes ahead for borrowers.
