White House proposes drastic cuts to State Department and funding for UN, NATO and other groups

Associated Press

Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Trump administration has proposed slashing the State Department budget by nearly 50% for fiscal 2026, a move accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio's announcement of an additional $214 million in canceled grants. Critics warn that if enacted, these cuts would result in significant reductions in foreign aid and the closure of numerous U.S. missions abroad. Rubio's cuts target specific programs, but represent a tiny fraction of the overall $28.4 billion reduction planned for next year's budget. As USAID staff face uncertainties amid restructuring efforts, critics fear U.S. global influence could wane.
