In a significant win for President Donald Trump, the Republican-led House narrowly handed a White House request to claw again $9 billion from the federal finances, together with funding for international support and public broadcasting.
The ultimate vote was 216-213.
Trump requested the cuts, which embrace important reductions to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), formalizing a few of the cuts made by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency by hanging $9.4 billion from the beforehand permitted federal finances.
