White House Proposes Funding Cuts for Arms Control, Nonproliferation, Nuclear Detection

摘要

The Trump administration has proposed funding decreases in fiscal 2018 to the State Department’s arms control and nonproliferation work, as well as reductions for the Department of Homeland Security’s Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO). The White House released last week a budget proposal requesting $37.6 billion for the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development for fiscal 2018, a significant 30 percent decrease from the $53.1 billion the department currently receives under the fiscal 2017 omnibus appropriations spending bill.
