Trump Considers Deep Cuts to State Department

By Solange Reyner    |   Monday, 14 April 2025 03:20 PM EDT

The Trump administration might make major budget cuts to the State Department, including eliminating programs that promote democracy, support educational and cultural exchanges, fight drug trafficking, and assist U.N. peacekeeping efforts, according to a document obtained by Politico.

The proposed budget for fiscal 2026 includes just $28.4 billion for all activities carried out by the State Department, a decline of 48% from funding approved by Congress for 2025.

The document assumes the U.S. Agency for International Development has fully become part of the State Department. Cuts would include 54% in humanitarian assistance and 55% in global health funding.

Gentlemen, affairs of state must take precedent over affairs of state.
