US President Donald Trump has called on Congress to make passage of a $350-billion defense package its top priority when lawmakers return to session, asserting that the measure is crucial for sustaining American military strength. In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump declared that the US military "has never been stronger, or more powerful," and highlighted that recruitment has reached historic levels ahead of schedule while morale is at a record high.
Trump Highlights Military Power and Recruitment Success
Trump emphasized the display of US military power during the celebration of 250 years of American independence, stating, "Our Military's unmatched POWER was on full display during our Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence." He also noted that the "Department of War has never been HOTTER."
Call for Immediate Action on Reconciliation 3.0
The president urged House and Senate leaders to prioritize the passage of Reconciliation 3.0, which includes $350 billion for defense spending, alongside the proposed Save America Act. "I am calling on House and Senate Leadership to make this their Number One Priority, and ensure that 350 Billion Dollars in Recon 3.0 moves out of the Budget Committee as soon as Congress is back in session," Trump said.
Trump expressed confidence that the Save America Act, combined with full funding for the Defense Department, could be passed quickly to ensure the US "stays FREE for generations to come."
