Congress cut $9 billion, mostly from foreign aid

Congress approved President Trump's request to cut $9 billion from the federal budget, primarily impacting foreign aid and public broadcasting. The approved budget rescissions, passed by the House and narrowly by the Senate, target previously approved funding. Foreign aid accounts for 77% of the cuts, public broadcasting 13%, and the remainder affects the State Department and USAID. The cuts include $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and reductions to the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, which manages the Migration and Refugee Assistance fund.
