Trump's $1.5 trillion military budget is under the Democrats' knife.
The defeat of the Republicans in the mid-term elections in the US has greatly reduced the chances of the approval of Donald Trump's $1.5 trillion defense budget.
The Democrats, who won a majority in both houses of Congress, oppose the 44% increase in the military budget and intend to block the approval of this expensive program.
America's war against Iran and public opinion's opposition to it were one of the main factors in weakening the position of the Republicans.
Democrats believe that the increase in military spending should not come at the cost of reducing the budget for domestic programs, and they will probably only agree to a budget close to a trillion dollars.
These objections could complicate Trump's major military plans, including the Gold Dome missile defense system and the construction of Trump-class warships.
Military contractors were also affected by this situation, and shares of companies such as Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman fell after the election.
