Media: the head of the Pentagon intends to reduce the US military budget by a third

As Washington Post writes

gaining access to the document, the reduction will not affect 17 categories. This is ensuring the safety of the southern border of the United States, the modernization of nuclear weapons and missile defense, the acquisition of submarines and shock drones.

The US military budget for 2025 is $ 850 billion. It is assumed that its reduction plans will cause resistance both in the Armed Forces and on the Capitol Hill, because this will complicate the confrontation of threats coming from Russia and China. It will be, among other things, about the dismissal in the military industry.

CNN notes that a little earlier US President Donald Trump spoke of the need to increase defense costs by $ 100 billion. The channel occupying a hostile Trump position considers this evidence of inconsistency in the American administration.
