"No 1 has seen anything like this."US Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth stressed that “We intend to wisely spend all dollar of the payer — on mortality and readiness.”The Secretary of defence in president Joe Biden's erstwhile administration, Lloyd Austin, proposed an increase in the defence budget of about $50 billion more than was forecast for fiscal year 2026. Unlike Trump and Austin, in February, the Pentagon proposed to cut spending by 8%, but precedence was given to spending on technologies specified as drones, submarines and defensive operations at the US-Mexico border and operations related to China's deterrence.The current US Department of defence budget is $895.2 billion.
Despite the immense sums allocated to the defense, the Pentagon has not undergone an audit for 7 consecutive years since the procedure was established.Trump's promise to increase military backing comes erstwhile his administration, through the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), implemented extended cuts in national spending.
Under DOGE, led by Elon Musk, about 280,000 national workers have been released in fresh months.
