US Congress may not pass defense budget for first time in 65 years
The US Congress may fail to pass a defense budget for the first time in 65 years, The Washington Post reported, citing sources. Negotiations over the $1.5 trillion budget have stalled due to disagreements sparked by the war with Iran and growing dissatisfaction with Pete Hegseth's actions. It is noted that the US military is already feeling the consequences of the lack of funding.
