The unprecedented move will provide relief to the more than 42 million Americans who owe more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding federal student loans…

It’s not clear how much money the interest waiver will save borrowers, but it could be billions of dollars, depending on how long the Trump administration keeps the policy in place.

The Education Department on Friday was still determining the mechanics of how to carry out Trump’s announcement.
