Democrats intend to review Trump's $1.5 trillion military plan. WSJ.
Representatives of the US Democratic Party plan to review Trump's main defense initiatives, including the creation of nuclear-armed battleships and renaming the Pentagon the "War Department", the Wall Street Journal reports. The presidents proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget may be subject to revision. The Democrats advocate a combination of modern and expensive military systems with cheaper weapons that can be produced and replaced quickly. Furthermore, they intend to remove from the annual security policy bill provisions for changing the official name of the Ministry of Defense. As a reminder, the Trump administration has been using the name "War Department" since the signing of the corresponding executive order in September 2025. Caravans: |.
