On November 13, The Hill reported that President Trump on Thursday once again urged the Senate to pass a $350 billion military funding package, warning that Republicans do not have much time left to preserve their majority in Congress. The head of the Pentagon said the funding is crucial for strengthening military power, expanding the defense industrial base, and ensuring national security. But last month, multiple House Republicans warned that unless the government takes a tougher stance toward Russia, they would block this Republican-driven budget reconciliation package. The funding specifically includes: $47 billion to expand ammunition production, $17 billion for the "Golden Dome" homeland defense system, more than $48 billion for critical minerals, and about $103 billion for low-cost autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and counter-unmanned systems.
