Il leader del GOP affronta lo scontro con i repubblicani sui tagli ai finanziamenti sostenuti da ...

John Thune, the Senate majority leader, is confronting internal Republican resistance over a House‑approved $9.4 billion cut that includes $8.3 billion from global health programs and future funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Senators Susan Collins, Mike Rounds, and Lisa Murkowski oppose the cuts to bipartisan priorities such as PEPFAR for HIV/AIDS and to tribal and rural broadcasters. With a razor‑thin Republican majority, Thune cannot afford more than three defections, making the approval of the cuts uncertain. Critics warn that the move could erode trust in bipartisan budget agreements and hinder future appropriations.
