(The Guardian) Donald Trump has proposed a near-doubling of the Defense Department’s budget to a record $1.5 trillion, citing “troubled and dangerous times.”
In a post on his social media website, Trump wrote, “This will allow us to build the “Dream Military” that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe.”
He added that he was able to suggest the $1.5 trillion budget because of “the tremendous numbers being produced by Tariffs from other Countries, many of which, in the past, have “ripped off” the United States at levels never seen before”.
Trump’s announcement of increased military spending came just days after a military operation which captured the president of Venezuela, and as Trump has floated taking military action in Greenland, Colombia and Cuba.
