Senate Modifies Trump's $9 Billion Spending Cuts | JQJO

Senate Republicans are modifying President Trump's $9.4 billion spending cuts proposal before a Friday deadline. A key change removes $400 million in cuts to the PEPFAR HIV/AIDS program, aiming to secure enough votes for passage. Further modifications address concerns about cuts to public broadcasting, with funds being reprogrammed for Native American stations. The revised bill, if passed by the Senate and House, will still achieve roughly $9 billion in cuts; otherwise, the White House will resume spending. Democrats oppose the cuts, fearing it will harm future bipartisan spending agreements.
