Trump wants to increase defense budget by 50 percent
US President Donald Trump will propose a budget for 2027 to Congress in which the US defense budget is increased by 50 percent.
The proposal is $1,500 billion (equivalent to 14,100 billion kronor), according to a fact sheet from the White House.
The amount – which can be compared to $1,000 billion in 2026 – includes an additional surcharge linked to the Iran war of $350 billion.
If Trump's proposal is approved by Congress, the increase in the defense budget will be the most dramatic since World War II.
Other budget items, not related to defense, will be reduced by 10 percent.
