US EditionSenate to Take up Trump DOGE Cuts
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The Department of Veterans Affairs claims nearly $2 billion in contract savings, but many cuts are disputed as misleading ahead of a pivotal Senate vote on $9.4 billion rescissions.
- Senate Republicans are considering a $9.4 billion rescissions package to cut funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid programs this week in Washington, D.C.
- The package follows President Trump's May executive order and a House approval of a mostly party-line 214-212 vote aimed at reclaiming approved funds amid accusations of political bias.
- The proposed cuts aim to remove $1.1 billion allocated to public broadcasting services and $8.3 billion from various foreign aid programs, including the long-standing, bipartisan-supported PEPFAR initiative targeting HIV/AIDS.
- Trump warned via social media that any Republican opposing the bill would lose his endorsement, while opponents including Sen. Schumer warned of risks to government funding and legislative stability.
- Concerns persist about impacts on Native American and tribal radio stations reliant on federal funds, and the vote outcome could shape federal spending processes and heighten political tensions in Congress.
