US House passes $1 trillion defense bill

The US House of Representatives narrowly passed its version of a massive defense policy bill on Wednesday, despite Democrats’ concerns about its huge price tag, the Iran war and a provision that would boost Pentagon ties to Israel.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, the fiscal 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, which authorizes an unprecedented $1.15 trillion in spending for the military, passed the House by 216 to 212.

The vote was largely along party lines, as all but seven Republicans voted in favor of the measure and all but six Democrats voted against.

Republicans said the trillion-dollar spending is essential to support the military as it wages war in Iran, fund defense systems development and equipment purchases and provide benefits for the troops like raises of up to 7 percent and construction for barracks and family housing.
