Donald Trump has said he wants to raise the amount spent on the U.S. military, even as “First Buddy” Elon Musk continues his crusade to slash federal spending by trillions of dollars.
“We want to raise defense spending. I think we have to have it,” the president said in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, which was broadcast Monday. He also vowed that DOGE would “check the military.”
