House and Senate negotiators have agreed to add $45 billion to Biden’s defense budget, said sources familiar with the negotiations. The deal would authorize a total of $847 billion for national defense in fiscal 2023 if approved by both chambers.
An emerging compromise on annual defense policy legislation will endorse a $45 billion increase to President Joe Biden’s defense spending plans, according to four people familiar with the negotiations.
Though the major bill is still in the late stages of negotiations, lawmakers are poised to deliver a second straight bipartisan rebuke to the Biden administration’s defense spending plans. The White House sought $802 billion for national defense programs in its fiscal 2023 budget. Lawmakers are aiming to have an NDAA ready for a vote in the House next week. From there it would go to the Senate and, if approved, would head to the White House for Biden’s signature.
