US President Trump stated that after long and difficult negotiations with senators, representatives, cabinet members, and other political representatives, he has decided that, for the national interest, especially during these turbulent and dangerous times, the 2027 military budget should not be $1 trillion, but $1.5 trillion. This will allow for the creation of the "Dream Army." He added that he would have maintained the $1 trillion budget had it not been for the enormous revenue generated by tariffs on other countries. However, the existence of tariffs and the substantial revenue they generate have allowed them to easily surpass the $1.5 trillion mark.
