The Trump Administration on May 23, 2017, released a full budget blueprint for FY 2018, titled A New Foundation for American Greatness. The full FY 2018 budget proposal is based on the March 2017 "skinny" budget outline. The budget represents a $4.1 trillion spending plan, and projects $3.65 trillion in revenue collections in 2018.

This memorandum provides a summary of requests for relevant agencies and programs.
