The US Senate has passed a $901bn bill for defense policy, combining Trump administration priorities with provisions aimed at maintaining congressional oversight over military power. The National Defense Authorisation Act includes measures to limit troop reductions in Europe and South Korea, support Ukraine with $800m, enhance Taiwan security, and strengthen Israel’s missile defense. It increases reporting on military activity, repeals Iraq and Gulf War authorisations, lifts Syria sanctions, cuts climate-related Pentagon programs, and eliminates diversity offices to align with the America First agenda.
