Senate votes to move ahead with Trump's request for $9 bn in spending cuts

Business Standard

Senate Republicans on Tuesday advanced President Donald Trump's request to cancel some USD 9 billion in previously approved spending, overcoming concerns from some lawmakers about what the rescissions could mean for impoverished people around the globe and for public radio and television stations in their home states. The Senate vote was 50-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie. A final vote in the Senate could occur as early as Wednesday. The bill would then return to the House for another vote before it would go to Trump's desk for his signature before a Friday deadline. Republicans winnowed down the president's request by taking out his proposed USD 400 million cut to a programme known as PEPFAR. That change increased the prospects for the bill's passage. The politically popular programme is credited with saving millions of lives since its creation under then-President George W. Bush to combat HIV/AIDS. The president is also looking to claw back money for foreign aid
