Trump Submits Record 1.5 Trillion Dollar Defense Budget Request for Fiscal 2027

The Trump administration submitted a record 1.5 trillion dollar defense budget for fiscal 2027, the largest in US history. The request prioritizes a missile defense shield, F-35 jets, and 18 new warships.

The Trump administration submitted a 2027 defense budget to Congress on April 3, with total amount reaching $1.5 trillion.

Of this, $1.15 trillion is requested through conventional appropriations, while an additional $350 billion is allocated through the budget reconciliation bill.

If approved, this defense spending will increase approximately 44% compared to current levels, setting an all-time historical record for the United States.

Budget priorities include $18.5 billion for the Golden Dome missile defense system, as well as procurement of F-35 fighter jets and 18 naval warships.

Both chambers' Armed Services Committee chairs expressed support, believing this move will drive defense spending to reach 5% of GDP.

Critics warned that such massive military spending could cause federal debt to increase approximately $7 trillion.
