"Largest Scale in Decades," U.S. Media: White House Requests Congress to Approve $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget for Fiscal Year 2027

[Global Network Report] According to reports from American consumer news and business channel (CNBC), The New York Times, and other media on April 3, the White House has requested the U.S. Congress to approve a $1.5 trillion defense budget for fiscal year 2027. CNBC stated that this is the largest amount requested by the White House for such a budget in decades.

The New York Times noted that this request is part of the latest budget plan from the Trump administration, which represents an increase of about 40% compared to the current fiscal year's defense spending. The U.S. government also plans to cut the budgets of several domestic agencies by $73 billion, affecting some climate, housing, and education programs.

Reports indicate that the White House has released a summary document regarding this budget request, with detailed content expected to be announced later. Overall, if this plan is ultimately approved, it could add tens of thousands of billions to the already burdened federal debt over the next decade.

CNBC stated that the president's annual budget plan does not have the force of law, and related documents typically highlight the government's priorities. However, Congress is responsible for federal spending issues and has the authority to veto the budget proposal, a situation that is not uncommon.
