House Republicans defied many of the White House’s requests for cuts to programs that don’t align with the president’s America First agenda.
In May, the Office of Management and Budget submitted its fiscal year 2026 Discretionary Budget Request asking Congress to cut funding to programs accused of wasting taxpayer dollars pushing left-wing ideology abroad. While the House Appropriations Committee reduced or eliminated funding for some of the requests, many remain untouched or barely adjusted.
For instance, OMB requested the elimination of funding to the Asia Foundation and East-West Center, which previous administrations have used for advice on how to deal with China.
