Washington — The Senate could move forward as soon as Tuesday on a request from the White House to claw back $9.4 billion in funds for international aid and public broadcasting as Congress faces a Friday deadline to act.

Congress has just one week left to approve the Trump administration’s request to cancel $9.4 billion in previously approved funding for public media and foreign aid, setting up yet another tight deadline for lawmakers.

Paula Kerger, PBS president, warns that a $500 million funding cut could severely impact rural stations, eliminating up to 50% of their resources and jeopardizing educational programming.

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

As a vote to cut more than $500 million per year in federal funding nears, stations are making their pitches to lawmakers, listeners and “Viewers Like You.”

Some Republican senators are skeptical, according to Politico. President Donald Trump wants to claw back $9.4 billion in funding previously approved by Congress. The House passed a version of the package in June, according to CBS News.

Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee pushed back against the Trump administration's bid to rescind federal funding for public broadcasting and international aid programs.

Nashville Public Radio told News 2 there will be an immediate impact if Congress passes President Donald Trump’s rescission package.

If Vought fails to sway enough support among GOP senators, the White House risks another congressional repudiation of Trump’s desired clawbacks — after the Senate narrowly rejected his request in 2018 to nix $15 billion.
