“Some House Republicans pushed back on President Donald Trump’s request to supercharge the military’s annual budget at a meeting with Pentagon officials, spelling trouble for a cornerstone of his fiscal policy,” Bloomberg reports.
“Trump’s most recent budget request called for $1.5 trillion in base funding for the Pentagon. The Office of Management and Budget called for most of that funding to be enacted in bipartisan appropriations legislation while moving another $350 billion with just Republican votes through the budget reconciliation process.”
