Fox News: Top Senate Armed Services Republican says Trump OMB's budget 'shreds to the bone' military capabilities
Sen. Roger Wicker criticized President Trump's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its proposed fiscal year 2026 budget, claiming it undermines military capabilities. While defense spending is set to increase to $1.01 trillion, Wicker argues that the overall budget reflects a cut in real terms, limiting military options.
Wicker emphasized the need for genuine growth in defense spending, aiming for 5% of GDP, and expressed dissatisfaction with the OMB's approach. The budget process will require Congress to negotiate its own plan, potentially diverging from the White House's framework.
