The U.S. House of Representatives has adopted a defense bill with expenditures of 901 billion dollars, supporting Trump's priorities and limiting troop reductions in Europe.

The U.S. House of Representatives has adopted a defense bill, authorizing record spending of $901 billion, which reflects the strategic priorities of President Donald Trump. The bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), was approved with 312 votes in favor and 112 against and will be sent to the Senate, where similar support is expected. The legislation codifies 15 executive orders from Trump and addresses issues such as securing the border and revitalizing the defense industry.

The NDAA also imposes limits on the deployment of American troops in Europe, requiring guarantees that reducing the number below 76,000 will not affect national interests. The bill also includes an additional allocation of $400 million for military assistance to Ukraine, in the context of ongoing support for the defense of Europe. Additionally, the NDAA eliminates previous authorizations for the use of force in Iraq and the Persian Gulf and cancels sanctions on certain sectors in Syria.

Defense spending is $8 billion higher than Trump's initial requests, and the bill includes measures to improve the living conditions of military personnel, such as a 4% pay increase. Although lawmakers supported the bill, some expressed concerns about certain provisions. Trump stated that he would sign the NDAA as soon as it reaches the White House.
