President Donald Trump has proposed a record $1.5 trillion budget for the U.S. military. The plan targets the 2027 fiscal year.
In his announcement, Trump stated this funding level would enable the United States to build what he called a "dream military." The proposal represents a significant long-term increase in defense spending.
The budget outline is a statement of priorities. It will require detailed approval from Congress in future years. Lawmakers will debate the substantial costs and strategic needs.
If enacted, this budget would mark the highest-ever peacetime military expenditure for the United States.
