Golden Dome, ships and missiles top Trump's $1.5 trillion fiscal 2027 defense wish list - Reuters

President Trump has proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget for fiscal 2027 that prioritizes major weapons systems including naval ships, missiles, and the Air Force's B-21 Raider stealth bomber (known as the "Golden Dome" program). The massive spending request reflects the Trump administration's emphasis on military modernization and advanced weapons capabilities as a centerpiece of its national security strategy. The proposal will require congressional approval and faces typical budget debates over defense spending priorities versus other federal programs. Key weapons systems in the wish list include next-generation Navy vessels and long-range missile systems aimed at maintaining U.S. military superiority. The fiscal 2027 budget represents Trump's defense vision as he begins his second term.
