Trump presses Senate to move $350 billion military package

Trump has urged Senate leaders to act immediately on $350 billion in additional military funding through a reconciliation bill, as the Republican congressional majority nears its end. The administration is seeking the money as part of its proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget for fiscal 2027. Trump says the funding is needed to strengthen U.S. military capabilities and has accused Democrats of opposing the investment. He also says the incoming Democratic majority will make blocking it a priority, and has called for the money to give U.S. forces what he described as decisive superiority.
