WASHINGTON – The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s request to slash $9.4 billion in spending on foreign and public broadcasting, sending the package for consideration by the Senate.
The measure passed the House, where Trump’s Republicans hold a slim majority and have shown little appetite for opposing his initiatives, by 214 to 212.
