US President Donald Trump has proposed a 1.5 trillion defense budget for 2027, a significant increase from the 901 billion allocated for 2026. Trump cited "troubled and dangerous times" as justification, aiming to build a "Dream Military" for national security. He also linked the increased spending to revenue generated from tariffs. The proposal follows recent US military operations and foreign policy actions. The plan faces potential resistance from Democrats and deficit-conscious Republicans, while Trump also warned defense contractors against stock buybacks.
