President Trump unveiled his 2026 budget outline Friday, proposing cuts totaling $163 billion to education, housing, medical research, foreign aid funding, energy and environmental protection — while seeking to boost defense spending to more than $1 trillion.

The $163 billion cut in non-defense discretionary spending is a 22.6% reduction from current levels, according to an outline of the budget released by the White House.

The proposed cuts to government funding are in line with Trump’s greater mission to cut bureaucracy via the Department of Government Efficiency — and DOGE and the White House were “joined at the hip” writing the outline, according to an administration official.

Meanwhile, the president proposed bringing the total defense budget to $1.01 trillion — but will only achieve that if another $119 billion is passed as part of a reconciliation bill working its way through Congress.

The defense budget calls for the elimination of “woke” and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs; a down-payment on a “Golden Dome for America” missile defense system; and additional funds for shipbuilding, US space exploration, and next-generation F-47 fighter jets as well as a 3.8% pay bump for US troops.

The administration is also calling for $175 billion as part of the reconciliation bill “to, at long last, finally secure our border,” of which the Department of Homeland Security would get $43.8 billion in the next fiscal year to carry out mass deportations and to help finish a border wall, among other priorities.

Without separate tranches from reconciliation, the 2026 defense budget stands at $892.6 billion and non-defense spending sits at $557.4 billion.

As part of Trump’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, at least $500 million would be handed to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “to tackle nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, over-reliance on medication and treatments, the effects of new technological habits, environmental impacts, and food and drug quality and safety across HHS.”

Human space exploration is also getting a big boost in the proposal, with $647 million more allocated for Mars-focused programs than in fiscal year 2025.

The Transportation Department would get a more than $2.9 billion boost to hire more air traffic controllers and build out the nation’s port, freight and shipping infrastructure.

Congress will still have to come up with their own budget plan, which could take months to hammer out.

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought in a Friday letter to Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Susan Collins (R-Maine) touted the “unprecedented” increase in defense spending and border security.

Collins in a statement Friday said she had some “serious objections” to the flat defense budget — even with additional funds proposed via the reconciliation bill — as well as some energy, education and medical research funding cuts.

Under the budget, a massive $26 billion is getting yanked from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, money that previously went to states in block grants for rental assistance programs.

HHS cuts first targeted nearly $3.6 billion in “duplicative, DEI, or simply unnecessary programs” as well as almost $2 billion that provided “cash handouts, medical services, and job training to illegal immigrants.”

The National Institutes of Health would also get a roughly $18 billion haircut for having funded “wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research, and the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health.”

Notably, the president’s budget cited how several US intelligence agencies’ assessments pointed to a possible lab leak as the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic — and the agency’s inability to “get data and hold recipients” accountable — as “evidence that NIH has grown too big and unfocused.”

“The NIH has also promoted radical gender ideology to the detriment of America’s youth,” according to the budget document.

The Environmental Protection Agency would receive $36 million more for drinking water programs — including on Indian reservations — but $15 billion more in climate-related spending from former President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill would be cut.

The Department of Education would also cede around $13.7 billion to give US states more discretion over how they use federal funds — and let the Office of Civil Rights “refocus away from DEI and Title IX transgender cases.”

The proposed cuts to education are a reflection of Trump’s commitment to dismantling the department altogether, the OMB official said.

Vought outlined $8.3 billion in cuts to economic and development aid at the State Department that “has been funneled to radical, leftist priorities, including climate change, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and LGBTQ activities around the world.”

“You’re going to see an enormous cut to foreign aid, but one that still deserves substantial presence to make sure that we can have targeted foreign aid across the country, where it’s in the interest of the United States. But we are not going to be funding Sesame Street in Iraq. We’re not going to be funding LGBT activism in Africa,” an OMB official said on a call with reporters.

Nearly $5.7 billion would also be axed from the since-shuttered US Agency for International Development (USAID) as well as international refugee and migrant assistance funding.

More than $6.2 billion for “pro-abortion” non-governmental groups was also cut, while funding for infectious disease prevention and AIDS relief was preserved.

Additionally, $3.3 billion is on the chopping block for “wasteful” UN peacekeeping missions, foreign exchange programs and other voluntary contributions to the international organization.

The Department of Justice is also curbing $2.4 billion in DEI and other left-wing grants and programs that prioritized “equity,” addressed “structural racism” or were designated for female crime victims but “had been offered for biological men.”

Almost $1.8 billion is being pulled from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and shelter and services for migrants.

Nearly $2.5 billion is also getting torn away from the IRS, with Vought’s memo citing the agency’s “weaponization of IRS enforcement, which targeted conservative groups and small businesses.”

Several smaller agencies whose operating budgets amounted to nearly $3.6 billion would also have all federal funding pulled, including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, AmeriCorps, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the US Agency for Global Media and the US Institute of Peace.

The White House is urgently pushing Congress to pass a spending plan — with chief of staff Susie Wiles telling The Post this week that securing Trump’s agenda with legislation is top of mind for the next six months.

“We ought to have a budget by then which would contain virtually all of the president’s priorities,” Wiles said Tuesday, “which are the things that he campaigned on, and renewal of the Trump tax cuts.”

“And if, if that is all we do, which it won’t be, that is an enormous accomplishment, because it’s the framework for everything else we will work to do.”
