Trump plans to seek major increase in defense spending, signaling a shift away from concerns about deficits
President Trump’s proposed 2019 budget would increase Pentagon spending by more than 7 percent over the 2018 budget, which still has not passed through Congress. It would cover the defense agency’s annual budget as well as spending on ongoing wars and the maintenance of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
