Trump Cancels Weekend: Amidst the increasing tension and war-like situation with Iran, US President Donald Trump has canceled his weekly leave. According to information received from the White House, during this period, Trump will stay in the White House and preside over high-level meetings behind closed doors.

According to sources, President Trump has canceled his weekly leave and now he will continue attending meetings even during weekends. This decision has been taken in view of the ongoing tension and war situation with Iran.

Demand for 1.5 trillion dollar defense budget

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has sent a major spending proposal to the US Congress, demanding a defense budget of $ 1.5 trillion (about Rs 125 lakh crore) for the next year. This budget is about 42 percent more than last year. It is believed that America’s military expenditure has increased rapidly due to the war with Iran, due to which this big demand has been made.

The biggest increase since World War II

According to the report, if this proposal is approved, it will be the biggest increase in Pentagon spending since World War II. This proposal indicates a 42 percent increase in the defense budget for 2026, which is considered a big step towards further strengthening America’s military preparedness.

Focus on military spending and law and order

This budget proposal released by the White House on Friday is not yet legally binding and Congress’s approval will be required to implement it. However, this proposal makes it clear that the priorities of the Trump administration include increasing military spending and strengthening law and order.

The proposal also demands Congress to cut non-defense spending by about $73 billion (about 10 percent). The purpose of this cut has been said to be to eliminate controversial and unnecessary programs and to hand over some responsibilities to states and local governments. This budget proposal is likely to be discussed in detail in the US Congress in the coming weeks.
