In the United States, Donald Trump's ambitions for the defense budget are being held back by the Democrats.

In the United States, Democratic opposition blocked the Senate's review of the National Defense Authorization Act on July 14, preventing its advancement. The move was presented as a response to President Donald Trump's February military actions against Iran, which were carried out without Congressional approval. This legislative block highlights tensions between the executive branch and Congress over military decisions. The situation underscores broader debates about presidential authority and congressional oversight in matters of national defense.
