The White House is notifying Congress about a plan to eliminate all funding for public broadcasting and impose severe cuts on foreign aid, totaling $9.3 billion. This initiative is part of a request from GOP Congressional leaders and is backed by a memo from White House budget director Russ Vought, which claims a history of anti-conservative bias within the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and outlines perceived mismanagement at USAID. The plan initiates a 45-day period for Congress to respond, with expectations of smoother approval than past attempts.
Since day one, the Trump Administration has targeted waste, fraud, and abuse in Federal spending through executive action, DOGE review, and other efforts by departments and agencies.
OMB recommends the Administration respond with two proposals to cut $9.3 billion. The first includes a rescission of $8.3 billion in wasteful foreign aid spending that does not expire in FY 2025.
