CALL TODAY: WE LOOK AT THE FIRST TRUMP DEFENSE BUDGET (Tues, Dec 20th at 1 PM EST)
Takeaway: Join us as LtGen "Emo" Gardner, former SecDef Gates' "budget workhorse", lays out the potential changes coming to the Pentagon budget.
Candidate Donald Trump promised, "As soon as I take office, I will ask Congress to fully eliminate the defense sequester and will submit a new budget that will rebuild our military." With the Federal government operating on a Continuing Resolution until April 28, President Trump and his Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis, will have the opportunity to influence the current Pentagon budget of $591B as well as lay down a Future Year Defense Plan for the period FY 2018 through FY 2022.
Our Defense Policy analyst, LtGen "Emo" Gardner USMC Ret., will look at how the Defense program is likely to change, what the future Pentagon budget topline will look like, and where additional funds are likely to go. In his book, "Duty", former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates called General Gardner his "budget workhorse" as he made a similar massive makeover to the Defense program in 2009. That pre-sequestration era budget will be the benchmark for the new Trump program.
