The U.S. House of Representatives adopted the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Wednesday, which will regulate American defense policy for the next fiscal year.

The bill imposes restrictions on the reduction of American military personnel in Europe, maintaining a minimum number of 76,000 soldiers and equipment in the region, in the context of ongoing support for Ukraine and allies in Eastern Europe. Additionally, the NDAA allocates 400 million dollars annually for the production of weapons intended for Ukraine and includes measures to maintain American troops in South Korea. The law provides a total budget of 901 billion dollars for military programs, including a 3.8% pay raise for soldiers. The bill was passed with bipartisan support but has generated criticism from some Republicans who believe it does not make sufficient cuts to U.S. foreign commitments. The law also officially ends the war in Iraq by repealing the authorization for the 2003 invasion and removes sanctions imposed on Syria. The bill will now be sent to the Senate for final adoption.
