The legislation, which now moves to the House, would have a tiny impact on the nation's rising debt but could have major ramifications for the targeted spending, from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to U.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is expected late Thursday to approve President Donald Trump’s request to claw back about $9 billion for public broadcasting and foreign aid as Republicans target institutions and programs they view as bloated or out of step with their agenda.

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on Thursday on President Donald Trump's $9 billion funding cut to public media and to foreign aid, after the U.S. Senate approved the package.
