Washington (Reuters) – US President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday offered $ 163 billion to reduce the federal budget, which will dramatically reduce education, housing and medical research next year, while increasing defense and border security costs.
The administration said the budget proposed would increase internal security costs by nearly 65% of 2025, as Trump abandons illegal immigration.
Unprotected discretionary costs that exclude mass social security and Medicare programs and increasing interest payments on the debt of the nation will be reduced by 23% to the lowest level of 2017, according to a message from the White House Management and Budget.
The proposal will split more than $ 2 billion from the internal tax collection service and cut off the budgets of the National Health Institutes and Centers for the Control and Prevention of Diseases by more than 40%.
Trump’s first budget after the reimbursement of the service seeks to fulfill his promises to increase the security costs at the border, while reducing federal bureaucracy. Democrats of Congress have blown up the abbreviations of internal costs as too heavy, and some Republicans called for increased defense costs and other areas.
“At this critical moment, we need a historical budget – the one who terminates the funding of our decline puts Americans first and provides unprecedented support to our military and internal security,” said Omb director RoS Water in the statement.
Vious while in the inheritance Foundation, he was the architect of the 2025 project, a road map for scathing the federal government. Trump deactivates these efforts during the campaign, but once in service, he made his king budget.
The federal government has a growing pile of $ 36 trillion debt, and some fiscal conservatives and budget experts are worried about Trump’s proposal to extend his taxes for 2017. He will add to him.
The so -called skinny budget is an outline of the administration’s priorities, which will give the Republican captures in the congress plan to start making expenses for expenses.
The US Republican Senator Susan Collins, the best assigneer of the House, reacted coolly.
“This request came to the congress late and the key details still remain exceptional. However, on the basis of my initial review, I have serious objections,” Collins said of Maine. She pointed out that defense costs were too low and worried about programs cuts to help Americans with low incomes heat their homes.
“In the end, it is Congress that holds the power of the bag,” Collins said.
Country, education struck
The budget proposal requires $ 50 billion, reduced in the State Department as it has absorbed the US Agency for International Development.
The proposal calls for a reduction of $ 2.49 billion to IRS, which a White House budget official said he would end former President Joe Biden’s IRS Weapons. Non -party analysts say that IRS cuts can harm tax collection and thus add to the deficit.
Omb also called for sharp cuts in the NASA Moon and Federal Moon Program for law enforcement, including the FBI and the alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives, as Reuters expected.
The proposal encourages Trump’s promise to close or significantly reduce the Ministry of Education by reducing about 15% of the department’s budget.
The financing of the Ministry of Housing Construction and Urban Development, which runs home support programs, will be reduced almost half.
“Donald Trump’s days to pretend to be populist, are over,” the best Senate of the US Senate Chuck Sumer of New York said in a statement. “His policy is nothing but a comprehensive attack on hardworking Americans.”
The administration says the budget will increase the discretion of defense by 13%, but the Republican senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi, chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, said the costs of defense would remain at the levels determined under the democratic predecessor of Trump Baiden.
Officials said the White House believes that Republicans in Congress would add more defense costs as part of the Trump tax adoption of the Party Line Tax Bill, bypassing the Senate Philibuster.
“We think the hill will be with us on this issue while we have to talk to more of them along the way,” Wutr said in an interview with Fox Business.
Expenditures in the fiscal 2024, ended on October 1, amounted to $ 6.8 trillion, according to the budget office of the Congress.
Legislators often make significant changes to the White House budget request, but Trump commands an unusual impact on Republican legislators and can get much of what he is looking for.
Republicans in Congress are hoping to introduce a tax reduction bill by July 4 and are working to overcome internal departments because of the offered cuts of federal expenses to pay it. It may be necessary to take into account increasing stress in the US economy from Trump’s tariff campaigns that impede global trade.
The White House budget requires an additional $ 500 million discretional costs to strengthen the border security and assist Trump’s impetus for mass deportations, as well as $ 766 million to provide border security and funding technology to maintain 22,000 border patrol agents.
The administration is still working to draw up a separate retreat package to codify abbreviations already made by the Ministry of Government, a budget officer said.
Republican senators require this process – provided by law, as the administration retains funds in advance by Congress.
