The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) released a statement from Greg Sindelar, Interim President and CEO, regarding a proposed $9.4 billion rescissions package that requires congressional action. "AFPI proudly supports President Trump’s $9.4B rescissions package to save taxpayer money, fulfilling a critical promise of the America First Agenda," Sindelar said. "The package codifies DOGE cuts and eliminates wasteful spending on radical DEI and gender ideology initiatives, foreign aid, and progressive public broadcasting agencies. Congress should move swiftly to consider and accept this request."
The White House has sent its request to Congress this week to rescind previously appropriated funds through this rescissions package, which needs congressional approval. The America First approach views the U.S. as the leader of the free world. AFPI emphasizes accountability for citizens, suggesting that government funding should be allocated only to institutions aligning with American values.
AFPI's research includes discussions on these priorities in a 2022 report and an early analysis of congressional actions. These documents highlight the necessity for Congress to approve a rescissions package from the Trump Administration’s Office of Management and Budget, detailing cuts to USAID.
