The Trump administration has cut $2.3 billion in new grant funding since its term began.

Some of the targeted areas are not administration priorities.

A 25% cut to public research and development spending would reduce the nation’s economic output by an amount comparable to the decline in gross domestic product during the Great Recession .

Trump has exempted prescription drugs from his sweeping tariffs on most imports thus far, but he has not ruled out the possibility of imposing such tariffs.

About two-thirds of prescription drugs are already manufactured in the U.S. raw materials are often imported from China .

Many basic supplies used in hospitals and doctors’ offices are imported, too.
