The House on Friday gave final approval to legislation that would cut around $9 billion for public broadcasting and foreign aid, the Associated Press reports.
The vote represented the first time in decades that a president has successfully submitted such a rescission request to Congress, and President Donald Trump suggested that it won’t be the last.
Some Republicans voiced concerns over the cuts but supported them nevertheless. The House passed the bill with a 216-213 vote, and it now goes to Trump for his signature.
