President Trump is seeking massive cuts, including culling more than $160 billion in non-

defense spending in his fiscal year 2026 budget request. Trump released a budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year, which asks Congress to approve slashing non-defense discretionary spending 22.6% below fiscal year 2025 levels. Trump’s request to reduce this spending to its lowest level since 2017 builds on the Department of Government Efficiency’s cost-cutting initiatives to root out government waste and downsize the federal government.
