# Trump stated that the U.S. military budget should be $1.5 trillion in 2027

On January 7th, local time, U.S. President Trump stated on his social platform "Truth Social" that after negotiations with senators, representatives, ministers, and other political representatives, he decided that "in the interest of the country," especially during this "turbulent and crisis-ridden" period, **the U.S. military budget for 2027 should not be $1 trillion, but $1.5 trillion.**

Trump stated that this would allow them to build a stronger military. He mentioned that if it weren't for the "huge revenue" brought in by tariffs from other countries, he would have maintained the $1 trillion budget. However, due to tariffs and the resulting revenue, they are now able to easily reach a $1.5 trillion budget.
