Trump will call for deep domestic cuts in FY 2026 budget
"President Trump will lob his FY 2026 budget request at Congress on Friday, calling for deep cuts in foreign aid and renewable energy and increased spending for the border and national security, according to administration officials.
Why it matters: In size and scope, Trump's budget amounts to another declaration of war on the status quo – and the priorities and programs that animate the Democratic Party.
It aims to reduce discretionary non-defense spending – which doesn't include programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – by $163 billion from this year.
By the numbers: In total, for the non-defense programs that need to be reauthorized every year, the Office of Management and Budget wants to allocate $557 billion for the next fiscal year."
