Congress Approves US Defense Bill
The U.S. House of Representatives approved the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027, which allocates the largest military budget ever at $1.15 trillion. The goal is to support the armed forces in facing international challenges, particularly the war with Iran and expanding cooperation with Israel. Democrats oppose the massive amount and reject continuing the war with Iran, while Republicans emphasize that this spending is necessary to strengthen military capabilities, fund the development of defense systems, and increase soldiers' salaries. The legislation also includes expanding military technological cooperation with Israel and faces challenges due to significant partisan divisions over military spending and foreign policy. The bill is expected to be debated again before the final vote, after which it will be sent to the President for signature to become law.
