GermanyThe U.S. House of Representatives has approved a framework for significantly increasing defense spending in fiscal year 2027, authorizing a budget increase of over 30% for the Pentagon. This would bring total military funding to approximately $1.15 trillion, up from $883 billion authorized under the current fiscal year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The vote passed narrowly with 216 votes in favor and 212 against, with many Republican lawmakers supporting the measure despite some dissent within their party. President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed higher defense spending. However, this authorization alone does not finalize the budget—it requires separate approval by Congress and the Senate, which has faced delays due to political disagreements. If both chambers reach a compromise, the president could still veto the final legislation.
