The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday narrowly passed President Donald Trump's request to slash $9.4 billion in spending on foreign aid and public broadcasting, sending the package for consideration by the Senate.

The legislation, requested by the White House, would codify spending cuts pursued by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

Republicans had faced backlash last month after tech mogul Elon Musk publicly backed complaints that Congress hadn’t codified any of his DOGE work, despite promising to do so.
