"President Trump plans to propose $163 billion in cuts to non-defense discretionary spending for the 2026 fiscal year, representing a 22.6% reduction in spending."
"The cuts apply to annual spending that Congress authorizes, excluding safety nets like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. This aligns with Trump's broader budget strategy."
President Trump is expected to announce a $163 billion reduction in non-defense discretionary spending for the fiscal year 2026, identified as a 22.6% cut from the current year's budget. This 'skinny budget' will outline budgetary priorities but excludes safety programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. The announcement has been confirmed by a White House Office of Management and Budget spokesperson, indicating a strategic budget approach reflecting Trumpâs fiscal policies. This represents an early step in the budgeting process, which will later see more detailed proposals.
