flag Trump proposes $1.5 trillion 2027 defense budget, citing global threats and tariff revenue, facing bipartisan opposition.

flag Trump has proposed raising the U.S. defense budget to $1.5 trillion for 2027, citing global instability, a recent military operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, and ongoing Caribbean deployments. flag He attributed the funding increase to higher tariff revenues, though the extent of these funds remains disputed. flag The plan, part of a broader push to build a "Dream Military," includes threats to cut contracts with defense firms like Raytheon unless they improve weapons delivery and halt stock buybacks. flag The proposal faces likely opposition from both Democratic lawmakers and Republican fiscal conservatives over deficit concerns. flag The current 2026 defense budget is $901 billion.
