Trump’s budget cuts to TSA, Coast Guard dangerous for NYC, says Schumer
Would slash airport patrols, canine teams, marine response teams and more
President Donald Trump may talk about keeping Americans safe, but his proposed cuts to important airport TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and U.S. Coast Guard security programs in New York present a disturbing picture, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer said.
In a release on Sunday, Schumer said the Trump administration’s proposed 11 percent budget cut to the TSA and 14 percent cut to the Coast Guard “would spell real trouble for security here in New York City.”
According to reports, the White House would also slash the budget of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
