Democrats who won the U.S. midterm elections are opposing President Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense budget, setting up a congressional fight over military spending. The dispute centers on funding for the Iran war and a separate request for $350 billion in additional resources. The standoff matters because it could delay or reshape the administration’s defense priorities. Attention now turns to Congress’s December schedule, where lawmakers must resolve the budget before funding deadlines.
