Trump: $200B Iran war funding request 'a small price to pay'

President Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed that he may seek $200 billion in new Pentagon funding, calling it a “small price to pay” to ensure the military has all it needs to wage war with Iran, but noted that request would include more than just what’s needed for the Iran war. Meanwhile, Trump said he’s not deploying US troops when asked about Reuters’ reporting that his administration is considering deploying thousands of US troops to the Middle East. “No, I’m not putting troops anywhere. If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you, but I’m not putting troops,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday. 0:00 Trump says if admin seeks $200B in defense funds, it's "a small price to pay" 0:47 House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader skeptical on $200B spending ask 3:04 Defense Secretary Hegseth on reported $200B funding request 3:29 Sen.
