White House proposes eliminating CPB’s funding in FY26 budget plan
The Trump administration has proposed the elimination of CPB’s federal appropriation for FY26.
White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought included the proposal in a Friday letter detailing larger discretionary budget cuts to Republican Sen. Susan Collins, chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
The letter proposes reducing the base non-defense discretionary budget by $163 billion, or 22.6%, from the current year.
