WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump unveiled on Friday a budget blueprint that calls for slashing federal spending on key nondefense programs by $163 billion, targeting renewable energy, education, and foreign aid.
The plan calls for a 23 percent reduction in nondefense discretionary spending from fiscal year 2025 levels, bringing the total down to $557 billion. The proposal does not affect defense, Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security but would significantly reduce funding to agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the Energy Department, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
