The proposed cuts would shift money away from foreign aid, public broadcasting, and foreign health programs.

President Donald Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package, advanced by Senate Republicans in a narrow procedural vote on July 15, seeks to claw back funding that Congress had already approved for foreign aid, humanitarian programs, and public broadcasting.

Officially titled the Rescissions Act of 2025, the bill reflects the Trump administration’s effort to translate proposed Department of Government Efficiency cuts into law, aiming to reallocate billions of dollars toward domestic priorities. A final vote is needed by a Friday deadline, along with a second House vote on the Senate’s amendments.
