President Donald Trump proposed drastic cuts in spending on the arts, science, foreign aid and environmental protection Thursday, in a military-dominated budget blueprint that has already met fierce Congressional opposition.
The Republican leader - translating hardline campaign promises into dollars-and-cents commitments - proposed scrapping dozens of agencies and programs, from public broadcasting to bioscience, to pay for $52 billion in new military spending.
Trump described the plan as "a budget that puts America first" - one that would help the military "win" and "set free" the dreams of Americans.
