President Donald J. Trump on Thursday called on Senate leadership to “IMMEDIATELY move on the 350 Billion Dollar Reconciliation Bill,” writing on Truth Social that the measure would give the nation’s troops “the DECISIVE ADVANTAGE they deserve.”
“I rebuilt our Military in my First Term, and we’re doing it AGAIN, bigger and better than ever before!” the president wrote. “Our Military must be strong, powerful, and respected. Republicans must deliver for our Warriors.”
He closed the post: “The time is NOW. MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN!”
The $350 billion package is part of the administration’s plan to spend $1.5 trillion on defense in fiscal 2027, alongside a base request of about $1.15 trillion, Air & Space Forces Magazine reported. According to Defense One, the reconciliation bill includes about $17 billion for a new Golden Dome for America Fund, nearly $54 billion for the Defense Autonomous Warfare Group, and funding that would nearly double munitions spending to $76.3 billion.
Republicans in the House and the Senate have been pushing to add the $350 billion to planned 2027 defense spending through reconciliation, The Washington Times reported.
