Complications Loom for Trump’s Defense Budget
By Sandra I. Erwin
The Pentagon has been adamant that Defense Secretary James Mattis will put forth a budget proposal that boosts military readiness.
Details on how Mattis’ fiscal guidance reshapes spending priorities or results in higher top-line funding levels will surface in the coming weeks when the Pentagon submits supplemental request for fiscal years 2017 and 2018.
“His vision, his thinking and his priorities are very much in line with his goal of building military readiness,” Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis said of Mattis’ budget plan.
