Pentagon budget will reach a trillion dollars for the first time – Hegseth

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said that the budget for the needs of the US Department of Defence will reach a trillion dollars for the first time.

‘Coming soon: the US Department of Defence’s first trillion-dollar budget. US President Donald Trump is rebuilding our armed forces – and fast,’ Pete Hegseth wrote on social network X.

The head of the Department noted that the Pentagon intends to spend the money of taxpayers ‘wisely – on defeatability and readiness’.

We will remind, earlier in Military.com wrote that the United States Army is considering reducing the regular forces by 90 thousand troops.
