US House Passes Record $911B Defense Bill
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a massive defense policy bill, authorizing a record $911 billion in annual military spending, eight billion more than Trumps request. The bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), includes $400 million in military aid for Ukraine and aims to improve life for service members with a four percent pay raise and base housing upgrades. However, it does not cover fertility treatments for military families. The NDAA is a compromise between House and Senate versions and must be paired with a separate spending bill to fund programs. The bill also cuts programs criticized by former President Trump, such as diversity training.
