Trump proposes massive defense surge

President Trump's fiscal roadmap prioritizes a historic expansion of the Pentagon's resources amid the ongoing war in Iran.

To offset the military surge, the administration is targeting funding for diversity initiatives, civil rights programs, and environmental protections.

Congressional leaders, including Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, have already expressed skepticism toward the proposed reductions in domestic spending.

The budget also outlines plans for significant infrastructure projects in Washington D.C., overseen by the National Park Service.
