Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth orders review of Pentagon 's 2026 budget so as to reallocate $50 billion in funds, Pentagon says.

Pentagon did not directly deny those reports, but described an effort aimed at removing funding from programs favored by former president Joe Biden and using it on those advocated by his successor Donald Trump .

The Pentagon 's budget for 2025 is some $850 billion and the cuts described in the memo would reduce that figure by tens of billions each year to some $560 billion by the end of the five years .
