WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Monday proposed $54bln increase in US defense spending, thenewstribe.io reported.
President Donald Trump’s first budget proposal includes a substantial $54 billion dollar increase in defense spending, with corresponding cuts in foreign assistance and other non-military spending.
Highlighting what Trump has described as a “public safety and national security budget,” the plan raises national defense spending — already the highest in the world — by almost 10 percent, an official said on condition of anonymity.
The proposal, which will be picked over by Congress, will have “a corresponding reduction in non-defense spending by 54 billion,” the official said.
“Most federal agencies will see a reduction as a result.”
