US President Donald Trump's administration slashed cancer research funding by 31 percent in the first three months of 2025 compared to the same period last year, according to a Senate report released Tuesday that accuses the White House of waging a "war on science." The analysis, commissioned by Senator Bernie Sanders, found that as of April, at least $13.5 billion in health funding had been terminated, including 1,660 grants, while thousands of scientific staff were fired.
