The US Pentagon is planning a $400 billion cut in Trump's defense budget because the Iran war is costing at least $47 billion and the Pentagon and congressional spending committees are looking at a defense budget that is $1.1 trillion less. A cut in the budget may slow down the rebuilding of the depleted American weapons stocks during the war with Iran, and may hinder the purchase of new weapons and the conclusion of defense agreements.
