US President Donald Trump has signed the National Defence Authorisation Act, the annual law that sets the nation’s military priorities. The bill carries a record price tag of $901 billion, exceeding previous defence budgets. It includes pay rises for service members, funding for new weapons systems and the Golden Dome missile defence project. The law restricts cuts to US troop levels in Europe, guarantees military aid to Ukraine and reinforces NATO’s eastern flank. It also tightens oversight of US investment in China, funds security cooperation with Taiwan, repeals Iraq war authorisations and lifts sanctions on Syria.
