Trump Administration Proposes $9B Spending Cuts Targeting NPR, PBS, and USAID

📝 DESCRIPTION
Spending cut shock: Trump targets NPR, PBS & USAID in a bold $9 billion proposal to slash federal funding. The White House, through OMB Director Russ Vought, has announced its plan to ask Congress to approve $9.3 billion in cuts, including $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, and $8.3 billion from USAID. The administration cites anti-conservative bias in public broadcasting and widespread inefficiency in foreign aid programs as justification. NPR CEO Katherine Maher’s controversial remarks calling Trump a “fascist” and “deranged racist” were highlighted in Vought’s memo, intensifying the administration’s call for action. This proposal aligns with long-standing GOP goals to reduce government spending and defund what they describe as ideologically biased media. The debate now heads to Congress, where approval must come within 45 days. With Republicans in control, will this proposal pass? Or will backlash over defunding beloved programs derail it? Stay tuned.
