Summary
The Trump administration requested $87.6 billion in supplemental funding from Congress on Wednesday, with $67 billion designated for the Department of Defense to cover costs from the Iran war (Operation Epic Fury). The request includes $21 billion for munitions, $17.3 billion for operational costs, and $12.1 billion for classified programs. The package also allocates $11.1 billion for U.S. farmers and $1.4 billion for Ebola response in Africa. The funding request came one day after Congress passed a war powers resolution to limit Trump's military authority against Iran. Democratic lawmakers signaled opposition, with Senator Patty Murray calling it a “disastrous war of choice,” while Republican support remained mixed.
