Trump Budget Calls For Elimination Of National Endowment For The Arts

Trump's proposed elimination of NEA funding comes after it had raised $207 million for arts programs, with some groups like Portland Playhouse expressing disappointment over cancelled grants. The White House is also cutting support for the National Endowment for the Humanities and CPB, leading to legal challenges and headhats as administration officials use executive orders to make these changes despite resistance from cultural organizations advocating federal funding.
