Debate Intensifies Over Delays in Trump-Related Legal Proceedings

Senator Roger Wicker, poised to chair the Armed Services Committee, plans to push for a significant increase in military spending, including expanding the Navy and Air Force, under a potential Trump administration. Wicker's proposal includes a $55 billion increase over President Biden's defense budget, aiming for military spending to reach 5% of GDP. He also advocates for continued support for Ukraine, despite potential differences with Trump, who has opposed increased U.S. spending on the conflict. Wicker's strategy may influence the GOP's defense budget under Trump.
