The White House has published this Friday the budget plan of President Donald Trump for 2026, as closing his tumultuous first hundred days of mandate. It is a maximum proposal that then the cameras will be in charge of modular, which aspires to cut, if not eliminating, spending in many government programs such as child care, disease research, renewable energies and the maintenance of peace in the world; Many of them already subject to cuts by the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) of Elon Musk. For the Mass Deportations Agenda of the Republican Administration, on the contrary, an increase in funds is expected. Together, the plan presented this Friday aspires to considerably reduce, almost 23%, national accounts, that is, discretionary expenditure not related to investment in defense.
Trump’s budget is special echo of his promises to end the programs wokeincluding granting to preschool education to states that have adopted programs and policies of diversity and inclusion of minorities. The draft also reflects his promise to end the “militarization of the government” drastically reducing the internal tax service (IRS, in its English acronym; hacienda), despite the fact that critics accuse him of using the springs of power to punish the people and institutions they do not like.
At the same time, the White House hopes that Congress, where Republicans enjoy a member majority, unlock 375,000 million dollars in new funds for national security and defense departments to repel what President Trump qualifies as “foreign invasion”, although immigrants to the United States are in historical minimums.
The president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, has hosted the White House Plan as “a bold project that reflects the values of working Americans and the commitment to the strength and prosperity of the United States.” In practice, the three great winners are defense spending, border security and health care for veterans, while housing, health and weather programs will suffer mass cuts.
Often considered a declaration of intentions, this budget proposal does not automatically become law, but a currency for financing negotiations in the next fiscal year. It also has the added value of coining the already advanced objectives of the second mandate of the Republican. Its publication also occurs when Trump has unilaterally imposed billions of dollars in fiscal increases in the form of tariffs, triggering a commercial war that has consumers, businessmen and foreign leaders concerned about a possible economic recession.
The Democrats have labeled the “devastating omen of Trump’s vision” for the country and by extension for the world, as related to the financing of peace maintenance programs and the Paulatino Design of the US US agencies. “Trump has made clear his priorities: he wants to eliminate programs that help American workers,” said Senator Patty Murray, the most rank Democrat in the Assignments Committee, cited by the AP agency, “while encouraging huge tax exemptions to billionaires like him and increases taxes to middle -class Americans with their reckless tariffs.”
The White House Management and Budget Office, directed by Russell Vought, one of the main architects of the 2025 project of the conservative Heritage Foundation, has thus outlined a version slimwhich only includes the main figures and covers only the discretionary expenditure of the federal government, which currently amounts to about 1.83 billion dollars per year. The Trump team reduces that expense by 163,000 million dollars, up to 1.69 billion, a part of the national budget of almost seven billion that includes many more programs and services.
