BREAKING: President Trump Pushes for $163 Billion in Federal Spending Cuts
President Donald Trump has unveiled a bold new budget plan, calling on Congress to slash over $163 billion from non-defense government programs—cutting total spending down to $557 billion.
The proposed cuts affect major areas including:
Foreign Aid
Education
Environmental Programs
Public Health (NIH, CDC)
Housing and Urban Development
NASA & State Dept. Programs
Entire agencies like USAID and the US Institute of Peace could be shut down.
At the same time, the plan boosts funding for:
Defense & Border Security
Law Enforcement
Transportation Safety
Congress is expected to resist the sweeping proposal, but the budget highlights Trump’s priorities as tensions grow ahead of the Sept. 30 shutdown deadline.
“Congress disposes, but Trump’s trying to propose and dispose this time.”
