💨 Abstract

The U.S. House narrowly voted to cut $9.4 billion from spending already approved by Congress. The cuts target foreign aid, global health programs, and funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Republicans frame these cuts as eliminating wasteful spending, while Democrats argue they will harm global health efforts and U.S. standing. The administration's rescissions request could pass the Senate with a simple majority, speeding up the process.
