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

  • On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a $9.4 billion spending cut targeting foreign aid and public broadcasting programs by a slim margin.
  • The package, requested by President Trump, uses a seldom-employed tool allowing Congress to cancel previously approved funds and targets $1.1 billion for public broadcasting and $8.3 billion for foreign aid.
  • Funding for the public media entities PBS and NPR is set to be completely eliminated over the next two fiscal years, while aid reductions also target initiatives such as the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
  • The bill passed 214 to 212 with four Republicans opposing and faces a Senate vote likely in July, requiring a simple majority for approval amid concerns about its impact on vulnerable populations.
  • Opponents warn the cuts will harm global stability and cause deaths among vulnerable groups, while supporters say the savings reduce federal debt and prevent taxpayer funds from supporting wasteful projects.
