- The $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget Without a Strategy
The article critiques the FY 2027 U.S. defense budget of $1.5 trillion as being driven by an arbitrary target set by President Trump rather than strategic priorities. Todd Harrison of the American Enterprise Institute highlights that the budget includes all three fighter jet programs (F-15s, F-35s, and sixth-generation fighters) without making tradeoffs, and contains large, vaguely defined line items like the $54 billion Defense Autonomous Warfare Group (DAWG).
