Senator John Hoeven has commented on the Senate's approval of President Trump's request to cut $9 billion in spending. The rescissions package, submitted by the White House, accounts for less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the federal budget.

“The American people have made it clear that we need to get control of our debt and deficit,” said Hoeven. “This package represents a fraction of our federal budget but is an important step in reining in federal spending. The vast majority of the rescissions come from foreign aid, and will help get rid of projects we shouldn’t be funding.”
