US President Donald Trump wants to focus on budget US for 2026 in internal security and defenseannounced today (2.5.2025) by the White House,
Specifically, the White House said this first budget plan provides for a 13% increase in defense budget and 65% of the internal security budget, areas prioritized by the Republican president during his election campaign. However, it also provides for 22% cuts in non -military government spending, $ 163 billion, while the Trump administration commissioned Elon Musk to reduce federal spending through thousands of layoffs.
The Democratic leader in the Senate immediately denounced the text: “His policy is nothing more than a total attack on Americans working hard,” Chuck Smerher said in a press release. “While weakening health programs, it attacks education and abolishes the programs on which families depend on, it finances tax exemptions for billionaires and large businesses,” he said.
The budget plan of a president, which fought against irregular migration, one of his priorities, focuses on border security in order to fund “mass deportations and put an end to the flow of privileges granted unlimited to irregular immigrants”.
This so -called “austere” budget plan lists the priorities of the executive. A more complete version will then be submitted to Congress.
Many spending cuts desired by the Republican Government are targeting programs that are considered “woke”, a minority term used by conservatives to describe multicultural promotion policies or currents of academic research for gender or racial discrimination.
