Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has announced the Senate's approval of President Trump's rescissions package, which he played a key role in advancing through the chamber. The package aims to reduce wasteful spending by $9 billion, targeting areas such as NPR and PBS funding, non-governmental organizations, and certain foreign policy programs.
"President Trump promised to cut waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. Today, the Senate delivered on this promise by passing the President’s rescissions package," stated Senator Schmitt. He emphasized that the measure seeks to "end the partisan capture of NPR and PBS," defund radical NGOs, and stop foreign policy programs that prioritize leftist agendas over American interests.
Schmitt expressed his commitment to working with the White House and urged for swift passage in the House so that President Trump can enact it into law.
The rescissions package specifically targets taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS due to claims they have strayed from their nonpartisan mandate. Additionally, it aims to defund certain foreign policy initiatives deemed radical or leftist.
