Military Strength More Important
President Trump will look to prioritize military spending over balancing the federal budget, he told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview aired Thursday.
“So a balanced budget is fine,” Trump said. “But sometimes you have to fuel the well in order to really get the economy going. And we have to take care of our military. Our military is more important to me than a balanced budget. Because we’ll get there with a balanced budget.”
“I want a balanced budget eventually,” he added. “But I want to have a strong military. To me that’s much more important than anything.”
Trump’s comments came a day after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) voiced his concern that the president’s pick to head the Office of Management and Budget, Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), would “slash the military.”
Mulvaney, a fierce advocate for massive federal spending cuts, has opposed increases in military funding in the past. The Hill
