White House Submits Request to Cut $9.4 Billion in Foreign Aid, Public Media Funding

WASHINGTON—The White House on June 3 asked Congress to approve $9.4 billion in spending cuts that would primarily affect U.S. foreign aid and federally-funded media including PBS and NPR.

The rescissions package proposed by President Donald Trump would codify several cuts put forward by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). It would mark the first time Congress has taken action on DOGE proposals.
