Trump's First Budget: What He's Slashing, and What He's Boosting

Washington – President Donald Trump unveiled a proposal for a $1.15 trillion budget on Thursday, and he's making national security the top priority.

His plan includes a $54 billion boost for the military, along with funding for the wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. At the same time, it slashes the federal bureaucracy, targeting departments like the Environmental Protection Agency.
