U.S. President Donald Trump is kicking off the long federal budget process with proposals to increase defense spending, while making cuts to budgets for the State Department and other agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency.
Administration officials say the White House is detailing its vision for federal spending in a memo to agencies on Monday. The Office of Management and Budget says a more complete budget outline is expected to be released in mid-March.
As a candidate, Trump repeatedly promised to boost the military, and in a speech Friday he pledged "one of the greatest military buildups in American history."
He has also said he would not seek cuts in programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
Whatever the president proposes to agencies Monday will surely not be the final budget for the 2018 fiscal year, which begins in October. Each agency will respond with arguments for what it thinks should be its budget, and ultimately it is up to Congress to vote on federal spending.
Trump is meeting Monday at the White House with House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. A day later, he addresses a joint session of Congress in a major speech six weeks into his presidency.
美国总统川普在启动耗费时日的联邦预算程序之际,提出增加国防开支,同时削减国务院和环境保护署等其他机构的预算。
政府官员说,白宫将在星期一发送给联邦政府各机构的备忘录中详细阐明其愿景。管理和预算办公室表示,预计将在3月中旬发布更完整的预算大纲。
川普在竞选时一再承诺加强军事力量,并在星期五的一次演讲中誓言造就“美国历史上最伟大的军事扩充之一”。
他还表示,不会寻求削减诸如社会保障和联邦医疗保险等计划。
川普总统星期一向政府机构提出的计划,肯定不会是10月开始的2018财政年度的最终预算。每个机构都会以自己设想的预算作出回应,并最终由国会就联邦支出进行投票表决。
川普周一将在白宫会见众议院议长瑞恩和参议院多数党领袖麦康奈尔。一天后,也就是他上任总统六周后,将在国会的一次参众两院联合会议上发表重要讲话。
