House Approves Trump’s Request to Cut $9.4 Billion in Funding for NPR, PBS, and Foreign Aid

  • On June 13, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a $9.4 billion spending cut package targeting foreign aid and public broadcasting funding in Washington D.C., passing the bill by a slim margin.
  • President Donald Trump called for spending cuts to eliminate inefficient expenditures amid concerns that his tax and immigration legislation could lead to higher federal deficits down the line.
  • The package proposes reducing funding by $1.1 billion allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as well as cutting $8.3 billion from the U.S. Agency for International Development, focusing on programs that support developing nations.
  • Rep. Lisa McClain highlighted that this rescissions bill would return $9.4 billion to the U.S. Treasury, while Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the proposed cuts by saying they are intentionally harsh.
  • The rescissions package now awaits Senate consideration, where it requires a simple majority to pass, but a vote likely will not occur until July after budget reconciliation efforts.
