US EditionWhite House to send DOGE cuts package to Congress as Speaker promises quick action
- The White House plans to send a federal spending cuts package to Congress early next week, with House Speaker Mike Johnson promising quick action.
- The package follows requests by GOP lawmakers to codify over $9 billion in rescissions proposed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.
- The reductions chiefly affect $8.3 billion allocated to foreign aid and $1.1 billion designated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports NPR and PBS.
- Musk expressed his frustration with the large spending legislation, stating that it actually worsens the budget deficit instead of reducing it and negatively impacts the efforts of the DOGE team.
- The formal submission will start a 45-day period for congressional approval amid uncertainty if the cuts will pass amid slim GOP majorities.
