In a recent budget proposal, President Trump has revived his effort to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). This move aligns with his strategy of minimizing the federal government’s footprint by cutting what he deems unnecessary agencies. Previous attempts in 2017 were thwarted by bipartisan Congressional support, which helped maintain and even grow these agencies' budgets. In his current term, the administration has already canceled many existing NEH grants and laid off staff, leading to strong backlash from Democratic legislators who characterize this as a broader attack on the arts.
President Trump's latest budget proposal to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities aims to reduce federal government size and waste.
Congress previously thwarted Trump's attempts to eliminate the arts and humanities endowments, demonstrating bipartisan support for these agencies despite his ongoing push to cut their funding.
