The White House asked Congress to slash $9.4 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting funding, marking its first attempt to cement the spending cuts pursued by the Department of Government Efficiency.

The legislation, sent to congressional leaders by the Office of Management and Budget on Tuesday, starts a 45-day clock for passage through the House and Senate. Among the spending cuts are $1.1 billion earmarked for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which runs PBS and NPR, and $8.3 billion for USAID and the African Development Foundation.
