From foreign aid to renewable energy programs, federal agencies are bracing for sweeping cuts.

Meanwhile, it boosts the Pentagon’s budget by 13%, raising it to $962 billion in 2026. The Pentagon stands to gain an additional $114 billion—the largest budget increase by far. In particular, funding would be directed to building a “Golden Dome”, a multi-billion dollar missile shield that includes orbital sensors, satellites, and missiles on the ground. By the end of his term, Trump wants to spend $175 billion on its architecture.
