It's a significant departure for Trump and Republicans in Congress, who have passed balanced budgets in the past. Trump's new budget does propose cuts that would reduce the deficit by $3 trillion over a decade but stops short of balancing, say sources who spoke to the Post.

The proposal follows a budget deal for the next two years approved by the House and Senate that would add $300 billion in new spending.

A majority of Republicans backed the deal, but it was harshly criticized by many fiscal conservatives. Trump's own budget director, former Rep.

In addition to programs included in the budget, Congress voted last week to approve an increase of roughly $300 billion in spending caps for fiscal 2018 and 2019.

Mulvaney, in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace, also said the administration could “have a chance to change this [debt] trajectory.”

Some Republican lawmakers have been critical of spending since Trump took office.
