Defense Department Seeks Emergency Funds Amid Congressional Holdup
The Pentagon is facing a financial crunch as it runs out of money, despite being funded with a nearly trillion-dollar budget. Defense officials have requested more than $67 billion in supplemental funding, but Congress has not approved the funds, citing frustrations over information about the war with Iran. The delay has raised concerns about the Defense Department’s ability to continue its operations, according to sources. This development was first reported by NBC News.
