Hegseth Aims for 8% Reduction in Pentagon Spending

Reported 2 days ago

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is proposing to cut projected US military spending by 8% over the next five years, excluding key areas such as US border enforcement, nuclear modernization, and new Air Force drone programs. His recent memo calls for military and civilian agencies to suggest cuts starting in fiscal year 2026, while targeting bureaucratic inefficiencies and climate-related initiatives. Hegseth's proposal indicates a significant reallocation of approximately $50 billion, aligning spending with President Trump's priorities.
