Defense News: WASHINGTON — House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry warned against “low expectations” for the defense budget as he repeated his case Monday for a $640 billion base budget for national security in fiscal 2018.
A day before the Trump White House is set to announce a 2018 federal budget proposal with $603 billion for national security, Thornberry, R-Texas, dissed that number as “basically the Obama approach.” At $603 billion, it would exceed Obama administration projections by $18.5 billion.
