Senator Andy Kim Statement Against Trump Proposal to Slash State Department Funding

WASHINGTON D.C.– Today,Senator Andy Kimreleased the following statement regarding the Trump administration’s proposal to cut the Department of State’s budget nearly in half:
“Trump’s proposal to cut the State Department’s budget in half is dangerous and will weaken America at home and abroad. As we face alarming conflicts and unrest around the world, a fully resourced and staffed State Department is critical to American security, our strength as a global competitor, and global stability writ large. As someone who proudly served at the agency, I personally call on Secretary Rubio to have the sense to reverse course immediately.”
