Trump's $1.5T defense budget

Trump's $1.5T defense budget

The budget request seeks to bankroll a wide range of new initiatives backed by President Trump, including an autonomous drone warfare program.

However, the plan also calls for deep cuts to health agencies and environmental cleanup programs, sparking fierce opposition from Democrats.

Critics warn that the massive spending surge could lead to a ballooning national debt and divert essential resources from domestic priorities.

The proposal is expected to face intense scrutiny in Congress as lawmakers debate the administration's enforcement and defense priorities.
