After Iran’s Drone Shock, Another Blow For Trump?Pentagon Eyes $400 Billion Military Budget Cut LIVE
Is the war with Iran forcing Washington to rethink its massive military spending plans? The Pentagon is reportedly preparing for a potential $400 billion reduction to President Donald Trump’s proposed $1.5 trillion defence budget, which could bring the allocation down to around $1.1 trillion. According to reports citing Politico, defence officials are preparing for a smaller funding package amid doubts over congressional approval. The financial burden of the Iran war is also mounting, with estimated costs reaching $47.1 billion through October 16, including billions spent replacing expended munitions and lost military equipment. Could a smaller budget delay weapons purchases, weaken replenishment efforts and complicate America’s military readiness?
