Axios: The Democratic victory in the elections endangers Trump's military projects worth billions of dollars The victory of the Democratic Party in the US Congress jeopardized the implementation of the major defense projects of President Donald Trump, Axios writes, citing an analytical note from the research group TD Cowen Washington. We are talking about the Golden Dome missile defense system, worth up to 175 billion dollars, as well as the plan to create the Golden Fleet, a group of 280-300 ships with crews and unmanned vessels, which is estimated to cost 275 billion dollars by 2056. "Projects promoted by Trump are doomed to failure," the policy summary reads. The document notes that the Democrats' success prevented Republicans from using a simple majority vote to approve the announced $1.5 trillion defense budget. In addition, the election results damaged the position of US Defense Secretary Pete Hesseth. Dissatisfaction with the more than six-month war with Iran could speed up congressional investigations into the defense chief. Lawmakers from both parties, including Democrat Pat Ryan and Republican Thomas Massey, have raised the possibility of Gest's impeachment. More details.
