US EditionFerguson: Maryland would lose $430 million in Trump ‘skinny budget’ proposal
- President Donald Trump proposed a 2026 federal budget that cuts $163 billion in non-defense spending and shifts some national park and forest management to states starting October 1, 2025.
- The budget aims to reduce domestic spending due to alleged inefficiencies and to increase funding for defense and border security while critics warn it threatens vital public lands and community programs.
- Key cuts include a 30.5% reduction to the Interior Department budget, a $4.2 billion cut to the EPA, and a $900 million decrease for the National Park Service affecting facilities including those in New Mexico.
- Senators and representatives from New Mexico and Maryland condemned the budget, calling it the 'Great American Betrayal' and the 'worst park service budget' for undermining health care, public lands, and community programs.
- If enacted, the budget could force states to assume land management costs without federal funds, shrink federal worker pensions by $50.9 billion, cut housing and energy assistance by hundreds of millions, and impact vulnerable populations significantly.
