President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a $9 billion package of spending cuts that ends federal funding for public broadcasters and reduces foreign aid, the White House said.

The Republican Party’s recent tax and spending bill made substantial changes to the landmark safety net programs created by Lyndon B. Johnson.

President Trump today signed the bill that Congress passed last week rescinding $9 billion in previously approved funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting. The legislation codifies some cuts targeted by the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency.

Americans broadly support increasing or maintaining funding for safety net programs, including Social Security and Medicare, a poll shows.

As Medicare and Medicaid turn 60, new Trump-era policies like the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' reshape U.S. healthcare, with major impacts ahead.
