In President Trump's proposed budget, the Department of Housing and Urban Development could lose $6 billion and would cut housing and meal assistance. The State Department's budget could be cut by 37 percent. Former Ambassador to China and Utah Gov.

Plus, Trump issued a new executive order banning travel from six majority-Muslim countries, an order that is already being challenged in federal court.
