Pentagon Seeks $200B In Additional Funding For War In Iran

The Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funding for the war in Iran.

The department sent the request to the White House asking for the high amount. It would come on top of extra funding the Defense Department received last year in President Trump’s big tax cuts bill.

The amount would have to be approved by Congress and it is unclear if it will have political support. Trump said “this is a very volatile world,” adding that this would be a “very small price to pay” to ensure the nation’s military stays in top shape.
