Cutting spending is difficult, but allowing our deficits to continue to grow is much worse. We’re never going to right this ship without making tough decisions, which is why I’m thankful for the stalwart leadership of President Donald Trump.” This proposal rescinds $9.4 billion in previously appropriated funds, designated for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) within the Department of State, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the United States Institute of Peace, and other international assistance programs. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T01:08:28Z |
