The US Senate approved spending cuts proposed by President US Donald Trump, eliminating over $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting funding. The bill will return to the House for final approval before the funding deadline.
A group of 15 fiscal conservatives in the House sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Tuesday warning that “weakening” the cuts would “undermine both his leadership and the discipline our budget urgently demands.” Instead, the group urged the Senate to pass the rescissions package as-is.
