President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would "love" to cut funding for the US public broadcasters NPR and PBS, which reportedly will be reviewed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency this week.
"I would love to do that," Trump told journalists when asked if he would like to defund National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service, saying the amount they receive is "very unfair."
