Trump seeks $87 billion, mostly for 'urgent' Iran war costs
The White House has requested $87 billion in emergency funding from Congress, with the bulk of the money designated for "urgent" costs related to potential military action against Iran. The request comes just one day after lawmakers formally rebuked President Trump's recent military operations, signaling a difficult path ahead for the budget. The proposed spending faces significant opposition from both parties, as many legislators question the timing and justification for the massive allocation.
