Trump’s Military Support to “Israel”: More than $500 million
Local Editor
US President Donald Trump signed an almost $750 billion military spending bill Monday, while vowing a new "Space Force" would give America dominance over rivals in China and elsewhere.
The spending bill allocates $500 million for missile cooperation with, and up to $50 million for combating Hamas tunnels.
"Our competitors have begun weaponizing space," Trump warned troops at Fort Drum in New York state, as he signed a National ‘Defense’ Authorization Act passed by Congress earlier this month.
"It's not enough to have American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space," Trump said, as he warned of the threat from China and elsewhere.
"Look at what they're doing, they have given me run-downs," he said in reference to security briefings. "I've seen things that you don't want to see what they're doing and how advanced they are."
"They want to jam transmissions which threaten our battlefield operations and so many other things"
"We'll be catching them very shortly," he said. "We will be so far ahead of them in a very short time, your head will spin."
He specifically mentioned a "new" Chinese military division that oversees space operations.
