Democrats to Block Trump's $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget Amid Middle East War
Following Republicans' midterm defeat, Democrats who now control Congress plan to block President Donald Trump's $1.5 trillion defense budget request, which includes a 44% increase from the previous year. The budget faces opposition due to the unpopular war in the Middle East, especially against Iran. Incoming House Armed Services Chair Adam Smith advocates for a more sustainable national security approach without excessive defense spending or harsh domestic cuts.
