The United States House of Representatives has approved the Trump administration's $US9 billion in cuts to public broadcasting and foreign aid programs.

The U.S. House of Representatives early Friday passed President Donald Trump's bill to rescind some $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting funds.

The House of Representatives voted 216-213 on Thursday night to approve $9 billion in spending cuts, including $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding for NPR and PBS.

On Thursday, the House of Representatives took up a bill to cut $9 billion of previously approved federal funding after the legislation passed in the Senate overnight.

The Republican majority on the House Rules Committee voted against allowing the amendment to be added to the cryptocurrency-related "Genius Act."

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he believed Republicans could pick up five seats in the U.S. House of Representatives by redrawing districts in Texas, which could boost his party's odds of defending its thin majority in next year's midterm elections.
