Senate Passes $900B Military Bill, Despite Controversies
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The Senate has passed a comprehensive military policy bill, authorizing $911 billion for defense programs. This legislation, which received bipartisan support, aligns with President Trumps national security goals and includes a 3.8% pay raise for troops. However, it also includes controversial provisions such as eliminating diversity and inclusion efforts within the military and granting emergency military powers at the U.S. border with Mexico. The bill also demands more information on recent boat strikes in the Caribbean and seeks to improve congressional oversight of the Defense Department. Despite these points of contention, the bill represents a compromise and aims to improve the U.S.s military technology to stay ahead of China.
