House Republicans have narrowly advanced a request from the White House to claw back $9.4 billion that lawmakers have already approved for public media and more than a dozen accounts across the State Department focused on foreign assistance.

The House is expected to vote Thursday on White House's rescission package to claw back funding for NPR, PBS, foreign aid.

U.S. President Donald Trump appreciates Elon Musk's apology, the White House said on Wednesday, hours after the billionaire businessman expressed regret over some of the posts he made on social media last week.

Tesla shares recouped all the losses they suffered during the public feud, when more than $150 billion was wiped off the company's market value.

The billionaire says his posts went "too far" after attacking the US president's planned tax and spending bill.
