Defying Congress, Trump administration officials have said they are reviewing State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development spending with an eye to using a budget process known as “rescission” to slash up to $4.3 billion in spending. Sources familiar with the discussions said that the administration was divided over the spending plan. Senior officials said last week they expected it to be sent to Congress on Tuesday.
Opponents of the plan argued that funding programs that fight poverty, empower women, support education and promote global health - which account for less than 1 percent of the U.S. budget - are worthwhile investments that save on security costs in the long run.
