US SENATE REPUBLICANS CALL ON TRUMP TO ENSHRINE SPENDING CUTS IN LAW

Republicans in the U.S. Senate are calling on President Donald Trump's administration to turn to them to make his proposed government spending cuts official in law, rather than unilaterally withholding funds as he has been doing.

Ten Republican Senators representing a broad swath of the party said in interviews they want to see Trump's administration start the legal process called rescission to permanently withhold funds already approved by Congress for fiscal year 2025. This process requires the administration to send specific cuts and their budgetary effect to lawmakers for approval.
