President Trump will propose $4.4 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade in his budget for fiscal year 2021 — a document that is expected to be quickly dismissed by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives.

The proposal, set for release at 12:30 p.m. ET on Monday, will include slashing foreign aid by 21%, budget chief Russell Vought told NPR’s Steve Inskeep.
