Pentagon Wants $350 Billion More After Midterm Loss

Описание: In a video posted on X on Thursday, Nov 5, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Congress to pass a reconciliation bill of at least $350 billion to strengthen the military and the defense industrial base. "We need every vote from every patriotic member of Congress," he said. Hegseth also pushed back on an impeachment effort: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) filed eight articles of impeachment in September, accusing him of violating congressional war powers during the Iran conflict and abusing his authority. Massie plans to renew the effort when Congress returns next week. "We will not back down," Hegseth said. President Trump told ABC News he intends to keep Hegseth in his Cabinet.

Should Congress give him the money? Comment below.
