WASHINGTON (AN) — U.S. President Donald Trump sent a US$4.8 trillion budget plan to Congress on Monday that would make deep cuts in funding for international organizations and global health programs just as the novel coronavirus spreads worldwide.
The Trump administration's 2021 budget request, with estimates of government income and spending for the next fiscal year and recommended funding levels for federal agencies, is the starting point for negotiations with Congress, which often ignores presidential budget requests.
