Trump Budget ‘To Cut Funds to State Department and EPA’

The White House is set to send a budget proposal to federal departments that will increase spending on defence but cut the money for the State Department and Environmental Protection Agency - that's according to the Reuters news agency.

It quotes two anonymous officials, who said that the plans would see the Pentagon get more money for shipbuilding and aircraft.
