- Trump targets Biden-era billion-dollar Smithsonian budgets amid anti-'woke' push
The Trump administration is proposing to reduce the Smithsonian's budget below $1 billion for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, reversing Biden-era increases that reached $1.24 billion in 2024. The move aligns with efforts to eliminate 'woke' ideology from federally funded museums and programs, including a 162-page White House report recommending reforms to the institution's exhibits, leadership, and spending priorities.
