This change follows an executive order issued by President Trump, impacting the operations of numerous institutions nationwide.

This reduction poses potential challenges for libraries and museums that rely on these funds to serve their communities effectively. The decision has prompted varied reactions from stakeholders who emphasize the essential role these institutions play in public education and cultural preservation.
