President Donald Trump wants to cut funding for a number of federal agencies, departments and programs under a 2018  <http://src.bna.com/m1N> budget blueprint released March 16. But the U.S. presence in global internet governance discussions is one thing that Trump says he won’t cut.

According to the proposal, the Trump administration will continue supporting the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s participation in “multi-stakeholder forums” on internet governance and digital commerce.
