From Washington Times

President Trump’s 2018 budget will slash foreign aid in order to boost defense spending, he said Monday morning, promising cuts to almost every non-security category.
His budget envisions a $54 billion spike in defense, with the money coming from cuts to domestic discretionary programs.
In remarks to the nation’s governors at the White House, Mr. Trump said his budget will include an “historic increase” in defense spending to rebuild a “depleted” military.
“This budget will be a public safety and national security budget,” the president said.
Mr. Trump also said his spending plan will contain more spending for infrastructure. He lamented that the U.S. has spent trillions on military operations in the Middle East over the past two decades without winning wars.
