Trump calls on Senate Republicans to pass a $350 billion defense reconciliation package immediately.
President Trump on Thursday urged Senate GOP leaders to move immediately on a $350 billion reconciliation package to help fund a proposed $1.5 trillion military budget for fiscal 2027. The push comes as Republicans face limited legislative time before Democrats take control of Congress following midterm wins. Prior party-line Pentagon funding requests have stalled in the Senate amid GOP divisions over structure.
