Trump's $1.5 trillion defense budget

The White House budget request represents a massive shift in federal spending, prioritizing military dominance over social safety nets and environmental initiatives.

Trump's proposal seeks to fund the ongoing Iran war while developing a 'Golden Dome' missile shield in partnership with private tech firms.

Lawmakers are divided over the plan, with critics warning that the deep cuts to 'woke' programs will disproportionately affect low-income communities.

Meanwhile, the administration maintains that the surge in spending is essential for national security and the protection of global energy routes.
