June 12 (UPI) -- The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote Thursday on a request from the Trump administration to rescind billions in funding previously allotted to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and United States Agency for International Development, or USAID.
The White House's rescission package would cancel $9.4 billion appropriated by Congress, as part of spending cuts made by DOGE. If passed, the package would cut $8.3 billion for USAID in addition to other international assistance programs.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds PBS and NPR, stands to lose $1.1 billion if the package is approved.
President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social in April that "Republicans must defund and totally disassociate themselves from NPR and PBS," further calling the stations "radical left monsters."
