Trump slashes foreign aid and domestic spending in US$1.15t hard power budget

US President Donald Trump unveiled a US$1.15 trillion budget today, a far-reaching overhaul of federal government spending, that slashes many domestic programs to finance a significant increase in the military and make a down payment on a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

The US$54 billion boost for the military is the largest since President Ronald Reagan's Pentagon buildup in the 1980s, promising immediate money for troop readiness, the fight against Islamic State militants and procurement of new ships, fighter jets and other weapons.

The 10 percent Pentagon boost is financed by US$54 billion in cuts to foreign aid and domestic agencies that had been protected by former President Barack Obama.

Trump Dares GOP in High-Stakes Vote on Troubled Health Bill

by Billy House , Sahil Kapur , and Anna Edgerton

House Republicans say it’s not clear whether measure will pass
‘It’s a long night of the soul’ for GOP holdouts, says member

The Trump administration made a last-minute deal with House conservatives to change the bill -- by removing Obamacare’s requirements that certain essential benefits be covered by insurance -- in an effort to win over holdouts, who had forced GOP leaders to delay their vote, originally scheduled for Thursday.


“If it loses, we just move on to tax reform”


Meadows said late Thursday “I’m a no” for now, but said members had been given “a binary choice” and that he will talk with other members before making a final decision.

Republicans scramble for health bill votes after Trump ultimatum

At least 35 Republicans still plan to vote against the bill, according to CBS News. If all House members were to vote, Republicans can only afford to lose 21 votes.


Conservatives believe the Republican bill does not go far enough to repeal Obamacare and moderates think the plan could hurt their constituents.


If Republicans manage to ram the legislation through the House, it faces a tough fight in the Senate. It could draw opposition from moderate Senate Republicans who do not like the House measure's new restrictions on federal funding for women's healthcare provider Planned Parenthood.

Many senators, especially those who represent poor, rural states, worry that constituents who for the first time have health insurance because of Obamacare, will lose that coverage and not be able to afford the Republican replacement.

Republicans pull healthcare legislation plan in blow to Trump

By Dustin Volz and David Lawder

WASHINGTON, March 24 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump suffered a stunning political setback on Friday in a Congress controlled by his own party when Republican leaders pulled legislation to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system, a major 2016 election campaign promise of the president and his allies.

Obamacare boosted the number of Americans with health insurance through mandates on individuals and employers, and income-based subsidies. About 20 million Americans gained insurance coverage through the law.


The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said under the Republican legislation 14 million people would lose medical coverage by next year and more than 24 million would be uninsured in 2026.
