White House Requests $87 Billion Amid Congressional Resistance
The White House has requested $87.6 billion in supplemental funding to support the Iran war and other expenses, complicating an already tense budget process in Washington. The request includes significant funding for munitions, operational costs, and drones, as well as investments in emerging technologies like AMTI and the Space Data Network.
