President Donald Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) plans to send Congress more than $9 billion in proposed canceled grants, according to multiple reports.
Two House Republicans told Politico that the planned $9.4 billion rescissions package will reflect only a fraction of cuts recommended by Trump’s advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was led by Elon Musk.
The White House plans to send the rescissions package to Congress on Tuesday, an OMB spokesperson told The Washington Examiner.
Politico added that the cuts will focus on National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), as well as foreign aid agencies.
Epoch Times reporter Emel Akan posted on X that an OMB spokesperson said the cuts would include $8.3 billion in foreign aid and $1.1 billion that had been destined for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
Newsmax learned that NPR requested and received a $1.9 million grant commitment from CPB to hire more “moderate” editors and journalists, as they recognized their more liberal bias.
With DOGE tasked to reduce waste, fraud and abuse in government spending, the administration noted that PBS programming includes “Real Boy,” a program about a trans teen, and “Our League” about a trans woman returning to her hometown.
Newsmax also obtained a list of proposed State Department/United States Agency for International Development (USAID) cuts that include:
- $5 million for “green transportation and logistics”
- $1 million for voter ID in Haiti
- $4 million for legume systems research
- $6 million for “Net Zero Cities” in Mexico
- $3 million for Iraqi Sesame Street
- $4 million for “sedentary migrants” in Colombia
- 1 million for programs to strengthen the resilience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer global movements
- $6 million for supporting media organizations and civic life of Palestinians
News of the rescissions package came on a day House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced the House is ready to act on the cost savings found by DOGE.
Johnson said the House will act quickly to pass legislation to codify the DOGE cuts once the White House sends its rescissions page, using the appropriations package to implement Trump’s 2026 budget.
The $9.4 billion package is a fraction of the $1.6 trillion in yearly spending and the $175 billion in savings DOGE itself is claiming, Politico reported.
