Senate approved Trump’s request to cancel $ 9.4 billion in foreign assistance

The United States Senate has agreed to the request of President Donald Trump to cancel $ 9.4 billion in federal expenditure for foreign assistance and PBS and PBS announcements.

The voting for the final Wednesday 51-48 sent the bill to the House of Representatives, which was expected to give the final approval on July 18.

If approved, the draft law will be given to President Trump for signatures.

In early June, DPR Speaker Mike Johnson announced that the White House had sent a request to the Congress to cancel $ 9.4 billion in previously approved expenses.

It was identified as “wasteful” by the government efficiency department.

In early May, President Trump signed an executive order to cut government funds for NPR and PBS for “Bias News Reporting.”

On May 27, NPR and a number of Colorado radio stations sued Trump’s administration for the loss of funds and accused him of trying to reduce press freedom.
