Trump's $1.5T defense budget

The proposal reflects President Trump's focus on military dominance amid the ongoing war in Iran and escalating global tensions.

Critics have labeled the budget 'historic in the worst way possible,' warning that it would gut essential programs that struggling Americans rely on.

The plan also includes specific requests for high-profile projects, such as $152 million to restore Alcatraz as a federal prison and $10 billion for beautification projects in Washington D.C. Congress is expected to face a contentious debate over these priorities as the midterm elections approach.
