Trump escalates spending fight with Congress, says he will cancel $5 billion [View all]
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-moves-permanently-cancel-funding-141941275.html"WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump has moved to unilaterally cancel $4.9 billion in federal funding authorized by Congress, escalating the fight over who controls the nation's spending.
In a letter posted online late Thursday, Trump told House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson that he plans to withhold funding for 15 international programs.
The U.S. Constitution grants funding power to Congress, which every year has to pass legislation to fund government operations."
