(AURN News) — President Donald Trump’s 2027 budget proposal increases defense spending by $441 billion, bringing the total to $1.5 trillion.
The proposal would allocate $190 billion in new funding for border enforcement, while many programs that benefit everyday Americans would face steep cuts or elimination.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program would see $4 billion eliminated. Community Development Block Grants would lose $3.3 billion.
The Minority Business Development Agency would be eliminated. Environmental justice programs at the EPA would be eliminated, and the agency itself would face a 52% budget cut.
Federal housing counseling programs would be eliminated, while fair housing enforcement would be significantly reduced.
Job training programs would face a 26% cut, and historically Black colleges and universities would lose $354 million in federal support.
The administration describes these cuts as eliminating waste and returning accountability to federal spending.
