Bloomberg berichtet über die Pläne der Trump-Adminstration, den US-Militärhaushalt im Haushaltsjahr 2019 noch einmal saftig anzuheben: „President Donald Trump will propose $716 billion in defense spending in his fiscal 2019 budget request, a 7.2 percent from his request for this year that backs the Pentagon’s push for a major buildup, a U.S. official said. […] The amount is a sharp increase from the $668 billion total Trump proposed last year for fiscal 2018 and also offered as a placeholder for fiscal 2019.“ (jw)
