President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance were officially sworn into office on Monday, January 20, 2025.  Among many Executive Orders one in particular entitled "Unleashing American Energy" prescribed limitations on disbursements of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funds.  It directed federal agencies to "immediately pause the disbursement of funds" from the IRA and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). 

On Wednesday, January 22, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clarified that the pause "only applies to funds supporting programs, projects or activities that may be implicated by the policy established in Section 2 of the order."  This includes funding related to climate mitigation and incentives for electric vehicle charging - not road, bridge or airport projects.
