Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's first budget proposal will look to increase defense and security spending by $54 billion and cut roughly the same amount from non-defense programs, the White House said Monday.

The budget blueprint, which was sent to government agencies Monday, would increase defense spending to $603 billion and decrease non-defense discretionary spending to $462 billion, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said.

Two sources told CNN Monday that the cuts are expected to slash as much as a quarter of the Environmental Protection Agency's budget, a cut that one former EPA official said would be "devastating" and a current employee at the agency said would weaken the agency to the point where it can only do its most basic functions.

"This budget will be a public safety and national security budget," Trump said at a bipartisan gathering of US governors at the White House Monday, vowing substantial increases in defense, law enforcement and infrastructure spending.

The majority of "lower priority programs and most federal agencies" will see a reduction in their budget as a result of the proposal, according to an official at the Office of Management and Budget speaking with reporters on background.

The official said those cuts will come through "unauthorized programs" and places "where there is duplication, where consolidation needs to occur."
