The budget of the American defense department exceeds $800 billion, but excessive spending does not allow this amount to be used effectively. This opinion was expressed on air by Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz on APA reports citing NBC.
"In the Department of Defense, with a budget exceeding $800 billion, everything costs too much, takes too long, and delivers too little to the troops. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I once held a bag of bolts that would have cost $100 at a hardware store but cost the Air Force $90,000. The Americans said, 'Enough waste and debt,'" Waltz said.
