US EditionHouse to Debate Military Funding Bill; some GOP Members Unhappy
The $900 billion bill includes a 3.8% troop pay raise, $400 million for Ukraine weapons, and mandates Pentagon transparency with unedited strike footage release.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on the $900 billion National Defense Authorization Act that includes a 3.8% pay raise for troops after the House Rules Committee advanced the 3,086-page compromise bill Tuesday.
- The NDAA lays out Pentagon priorities and near-term spending authority, authorizing nearly $1 trillion while House Speaker Mike Johnson said it advances President Trump's agenda.
- To enforce transparency, the bill ties funds to overdue reports and more detailed attack information, requiring the Department of Defense to release unedited strike videos or face withholding a quarter of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel budget.
- House GOP leaders face a tight vote with few margins for defections as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Greg Steube oppose the bill while some Democratic supporters back it; if approved, it moves to the U.S. Senate.
- Foreign-Policy moves sit alongside urgent budget timing for Congress as the bill authorizes $400 million for Ukraine, removes Syria sanctions, and extends U.S. troops in Europe and South Korea amid expiring temporary government funding next month.
