”A balanced budget is fine," Mr. Trump said in an interview with Fox News last month. ”But sometimes you have to fuel the well in order to really get the economy going."
He added: ”I want a balanced budget eventually. But I want to have a strong military."
The president's hope to increase military spending, shared by many Republicans, will probably be at the center of the looming budget battle in Congress. Funding for the current fiscal year is set to expire on April 28. The administration is expected to make a supplemental request before then for money to go to the military — and possibly a wall on the Mexican border.
Cutting all these programs would save 2.5 billion on the year. The country is expected to spend 4 trillion this year.
