Trump 2020 budget calls for eliminating funding for PBS and NPR

Once again, the Trump administration is proposing that federal funding for the arts, public broadcasting, and other cultural centers, be eliminated.

President Trump‘s 2020 budget calls for eliminating the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which finds stations like PBS and NPR, along with the National Endowment for the Arts.

This isn’t the first time Trump has proposed the cuts, which were part of his previous two budgets.

The budget, which was released this Monday, calls for cutting $435 million from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowment for the Arts, which would cause their eventual shutdown.

“Most of the eliminations and reductions in this volume reflect a continuation of policies proposed in the 2018 and 2019 President’s Budgets that have not yet been enacted by the Congress and highlight the Administration’s efforts to eliminate wasteful or unnecessary spending,” according to the budget document.
