[Trump Urges Senate to Pass $350 Billion Budget Harmonization Bill] According to The Hill, President Trump again urged the Senate to pass a $350 billion military funding bill on Thursday, as Republicans' majority in Congress is dwindling. Pentagon officials believe the funding is crucial for strengthening the military, expanding the defense industrial base, and ensuring national security. However, last month, several House Republicans warned they were prepared to block the Republican-backed budget harmonization proposal unless the administration takes a tougher stance against Russia. The $350 billion funding request includes: $47 billion for expanding munitions production; $17 billion for the Golden Dome homeland defense system; over $48 billion for critical minerals; and approximately $103 billion for low-cost autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and counter-unmanned systems.
