US defence strategy: US House of Representatives allows for significantly higher defence budget

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a defense spending bill that would allocate over $1.15 trillion for the Department of Defense in fiscal year 2027, marking a significant increase from previous years. The legislation, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), includes provisions for developing a missile defense system similar to Israel’s Iron Dome, increasing military salaries by five to seven percent, and potentially renaming the department as the 'Department of War.' While the bill passed the House with a narrow majority, it still needs approval from the Senate, where opposition exists due to concerns over budgetary discipline and lack of offsetting cuts elsewhere.
