Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) appeared to literally salivate over the Donald Trump administration’s $1.5 trillion 2027 military budget proposal during a Senate Budget Committee hearing. This is the first time in history that the Pentagon’s budget has crossed the $1 trillion mark, making it a historic moment for U.S. defense spending.
The defense spending plan was unveiled by Russell Vought, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), during his testimony on Capitol Hill. The proposal represents a 40% increase in defense spending, adding an extra $450 billion, while also cutting non-defense spending by 10%.
