Democrats took control of the House last year and are unlikely to pass Trump's budget. Disputes about wall funding led to last year's record shutdown.
President Trump is expected to announce his FY 2021 budget on Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The president will reportedly ask for $2 billion for his border wall, less than half of what he requested in 2019, which led to the longest government shutdown in US history. There are funding changes to agencies across the board, including a 12% increase to NASA and a 26% decrease to the EPA.President Donald Trump on Monday is expected to unveil his latest budget, a $4.8 trillion proposal that will ask Congress for $2 billion for his long-promised border wall, will raise military spending, and will propose cuts to social safety-net programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.
As The Wall Street Journal noted, the president’s budget is not likely to be passed into law in the form that it will be in when he announces it Monday. It’s a jumping-off point of sorts that begins the negotiations between the president and Congress.
