US EditionSenate Passes $901 Billion Defense Bill that Pushes Hegseth for Boat Strike Video
The $901 billion bill includes a 3.8% military pay raise, increased oversight of Pentagon operations, and restrictions on troop reductions in Europe and Asia, lawmakers said.
- On Dec 17, the US Senate advanced a US$901 billion National Defense Authorization Act and sent it to the White House, where President Donald Trump is expected to sign it.
- After the House of Representatives approved the bill on Dec. 10, the NDAA became a compromise between earlier House and Senate measures amid unease in European capitals.
- According to the House Armed Services Committee fact sheet, the bill allocates $26 billion for shipbuilding, $38 billion for aircraft, $4 billion for ground vehicles, and $25 billion for munitions.
- The NDAA bars US troop levels in Europe from falling below 76,000 for more than 45 days, locks in $400 million for Ukraine, provides $175 million for the Baltic Security Initiative, and limits reductions to the 28,500 US troops in South Korea.
- The NDAA also directs investments to bolster the defense industrial base, fences 25 percent of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel budget, and includes some `culture war` measures.
