US EditionTrump signs bill to cancel $9 billion in foreign aid, public broadcasting funding
UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – The bill cancels $9 billion in funding, including $1.1 billion for public broadcasting, aiming to reduce spending on programs deemed unnecessary by the White House's efficiency office.
- In Washington, President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a bill canceling about $9 billion in funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid.
- Administration officials argued the funding was unnecessary, while the White House billed the legislation as a test case for Congress, with more rescission packages promised.
- With $1.1 billion destined for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, lawmakers with large rural constituencies voiced concern, and Democrats unanimously rejected the cuts.
- Warning that cuts could harm U.S. standing, Democrats said, while some Republicans supported them despite discomfort.
- As these programs have long served as a soft-power counterweight against China and Russia, the International Rescue Committee reports nearly half its projects have been terminated, with further reductions likely during President Trump's remaining term.
