Last month, President Donald Trump told reporters that the White House is supportive of a rescission package to codify spending cuts proposed by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). “It would be great. I think we’re going to do that,” Trump said in late March.
Looks like the White House has notified Congress about its latest rescissions package blueprint, according to a new report in the New York Post. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) “recommends the Administration respond with two proposals to cut $9.3 billion,” according to a memo obtained by the Post’s Steven Nelson. “The first includes a rescission of $8.3 billion in wasteful foreign aid spending (out of $22 billion) that does not expire in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. The second is a separate rescission of all Federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) — which funds the politically biased public radio and public television system.”
