The Trump administration will send Congress a rescissions package in the coming weeks that seeks to claw back billions of dollars in funding for PBS and NPR, as well as numerous foreign aid programs and small federal agencies.
The Office of Management and Budget wants to rescind $9.3 billion in funding already approved by Congress, according to a White House official. This includes a portion of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which was appropriated $535 million in FY2025. Some of that money goes to PBS and NPR, long targets of GOP ire over their progressive programming and heavy criticism of President Donald Trump.
