President Donald Trump's first budget proposal will not seek cuts in Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement federal benefits programs, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in an interview broadcast on Sunday.
Mnuchin was asked on Fox News Channel's “Sunday Morning Futures” program whether the Trump administration needed cuts in those areas.
