the Pentagon budget; Trump and Congress are fighting over the war against Iran A senior Democratic aide in the US Senate told The Hill that the Democrats will not pass a budget for the war against Iran. The position could hurt the Trump administration's efforts to obtain nearly $70 billion in emergency funding for the Pentagon and authorize a total of $1.5 trillion in defense spending for the 2027 fiscal year. The Democrats demanded the dismissal of Pete Hegst, the Secretary of Defense of the United States, and threatened to follow the impeachment process if they won the elections and took control of the House of Representatives. The US government needs to extend the temporary approval of funding for federal agencies before December 11th, or parts of the government will be at risk of being shut down. According to Giva, disagreements over the Pentagon budget and the war in Iran could stall negotiations and even lead to a broader government shutdown before Christmas.
