US passes $1 trillion military spending bill

The US House of Representatives narrowly passed a $1.15 trillion military spending bill, the fiscal 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), by a vote of 216 to 212. The bill includes a provision to boost Pentagon ties with Israel and faces uncertainty in the Senate due to Democratic objections over Pentagon funding amid cuts to social programmes. The vote was largely along party lines, with most Republicans supporting and most Democrats opposing.
