On January 7, local time, US President Trump said in a post on his social networking platform “Real Social” that after negotiations with senators, members of the House of Representatives, ministers, and other political representatives, he decided that “for the benefit of the country,” especially during this “turbulent, uneasy, and dangerous” period, the US military budget for 2027 should not be 1 trillion US dollars, but 1.5 trillion US dollars. Trump said it would enable them to build a stronger military. Trump said he would have maintained a budget of 1 trillion dollars had it not been for “huge revenue” from tariffs from other countries. But thanks to tariffs and the resulting revenue, they can now easily reach their $1.5 trillion budget.
