"President Trump's $4.8 trillion fiscal 2021 budget proposal released today once again seeks to slash many energy and environmental programs to help shore up national security spending.
Like last year, the White House wants to cut all non-defense discretionary spending by 5%. Non-nuclear spending at the Department of Energy would be cut 29%, EPA would be reduced by 27%, the Army Corps of Engineers would drop 22% and the Interior Department would fall by 13%.
The budget proposal would cut the State Department by 21%, which includes foreign assistance programs aimed at curbing climate change."
George Cahlink reports for Greenwire February 10, 2020.
