  1. Budget Core: The new fiscal year budget request proposed by U.S. President Trump exhibits a clear characteristic of "strong military, weak social programs" – it plans to implement a $1.5 trillion defense budget, proposing a substantial increase in defense spending to $1.5 trillion, while simultaneously demanding a 10% reduction in non-defense expenditures (to $660 billion).
  2. Points of Contention: The budget proposal advocates for deep cuts to medical research (such as NIH), international food aid, climate change, and clean energy projects. Furthermore, it plans to reduce the State Department's funding by 29%, and promote the elimination of the Department of Education and the privatization of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
