## Key points

- The proposal forms part of a wider $1.5 trillion budget request.
- The Iran war has strained weapons stocks and production capacity.

## Summary

Donald Trump has urged Senate Republicans to move swiftly on a $350 billion defence spending bill, saying it would strengthen the military and give US forces an advantage. The proposal could bring substantial new funding to defence companies and is part of a broader $1.5 trillion defence budget request.

The push comes as the Iran war has depleted some US weapons stocks and exposed delays in expanding ammunition production, according to the Congressional Research Service. Republican Andy Harris also backed higher defence spending, arguing the US needs modern weapons for a dangerous world; the article notes other recent preparations for possible conflict.
