Rescissions Act of 2025

AI-Generated Summary

Updated November 24, 2025 at 12:01 AM UTC

The Rescissions Act of 2025 immediately eliminates a series of unobligated budget balances that the President proposed to rescind in his June 3, 2025 special message. The cuts affect funds across many foreign‑assistance programs—including contributions to international organizations, peacekeeping, global health, migration assistance, and a range of bilateral aid initiatives—as well as certain domestic broadcasting appropriations. The rescissions reduce the total amount of money available for these programs for the fiscal years covered.
