Senator Roger Wicker expressed strong disapproval of President Trumpâs 2026 budget proposal, highlighting that it deviated from the promised 13% increase in defense spending aimed at enhancing military capabilities. Instead, Wicker pointed out that the proposal offers flat funding, effectively resulting in cuts when adjusted for inflation. He underscored the need for real growth in the military's base budget to counter rising global threats, particularly from China, and reiterated the necessity of adhering to the 'Peace Through Strength' doctrine to safeguard national security and military options.
