Analyst Bernstein said it's hard to imagine the US defense budget reaching $1.5 trillion in 2027. Although it is a foregone conclusion that defense spending is on the rise, President Trump may face many difficulties in pushing Congress to pass such a huge budget. Analysts pointed out that Republicans may use a “budget reconciliation” process — a fast-track process that allows Congress to revise spending, revenue, and federal debt ceilings — to pass the defense budget without Democratic support. However, Republicans within the party who advocate reducing America's deficit may defy due to differences in political opinions, thereby undermining the implementation of this procedure. They added that the proposal for a huge budget increase clearly favors defense stocks, but it will be followed by tougher scrutiny of the industry by the regulatory authorities.
