To the warriors of the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group—WELCOME HOME.
You made history, answered the call with strength and resolve, and made our nation proud.
The $1.5 trillion investment is a GENERATIONAL DOWN PAYMENT on America’s national defense.
This investment guarantees the United States maintains overwhelming strength and unmatched deterrence against any adversary for generations to come.
Today, I am convening a special review panel to conduct a comprehensive, long-term, department-wide review of every aspect of the military legal system impacting our servicemembers.
This panel will enhance trust, strengthen our force, drive real reform, and help ensure our warfighters receive the world-class military legal system they deserve.
Today, I welcomed the Republic of Korea’s Minister of National Defense, Ahn Gyu-back, to the Pentagon.
We reaffirmed the strength of the alliance and discussed readiness, posture, and shared responsibility for collective defense.
The Biden administration’s experimental COVID-19 vaccine mandate was wrongfully forced onto our warfighters.
It was unjust, and we are doing EVERYTHING we can to make it right.
Thanks to President Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense budget, this War Department has moved from bureaucracy to business.
This is a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT in our Arsenal of Freedom—ensuring our military remains the most lethal fighting force in the world.
