What did Donald Trump claim about government spending on 12 Jun 2025?
Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
For decades, Republicans have promised to cut NPR, but have never done it, until now.
Republicans did it before. In 1995 a Republican-controlled Congress passed a law cutting $92 million in previously approved public broadcasting funds.
In July 1995 the 104th Congress, with Republican majorities in both chambers, enacted H.R. 1944 as Public Law 104-19, which rescinded $37,000,000 and $55,000,000 of previously appropriated Corporation for Public Broadcasting funds (Public Law 104-19, 109 Stat. 194).
