Trump will offer to increase the costs of the Pentagon due to ecology

US President Donald Trump will order the preparation of the budget for the next year to take into account a significant increase in defense costs of expenses.

This is written by The New York Times (Nyt), AP and Reuters with reference to informed sources. According to publications, the costs of the Pentagon will increase by reducing financing of other ministries.

According to NYT, “tens of billions of dollars” will reduce the budget of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

According to AP, Trump plans do not provide for a “significant reduction” of the Social Security program and medical insurance (Medicare).

As Reuters adds, US Finance Minister Stephen Mnuchin on the air of Fox News said that the Trump administration would not seek to reduce the budgets of these programs.

AP clarifies that Trump will send the orders regarding the budget to the relevant departments on February 27. Plans for budget expenditures will have to be approved by Congress. Later on February 27, the agency reported that Trump asked to increase the defense budget by $ 54 billion.

According to CBS, the president, representing amendments, said that the United States "should start winning the wars again": "We will either win or we will not fight at all."

In early February, AP reported that the Pentagon provided Congress with its budget draft, which involves the growth of military spending by $ 30 billion. Their military department plans to spend on new armored vehicles, reactive fighters and the training of the military.

Trump during the election campaign has repeatedly stated the need to increase the US military budget. Reuters recalls that Trump also spoke of a “national goal” to achieve economic growth of 4% per year, plans that will be represented by Congress suggest a growth of 2.4%.
