Trump Announces $1.5 Trillion Military Budget for Next Year
💰 PENTAGON — A $1.5T military budget the day before Trump addresses the nation. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The largest defense budget in US history lands as CENTCOM runs an active strike campaign and Congress fractures over war authorization. For Democrats demanding an AUMF, this reframes the fight: block the spending or legitimize the war. For allies, it signals Washington is scaling up, not winding down. The timing makes Thursday's address a victory lap, not a pivot.
