The first federal budget presented by Donald Trump reflects everything the New York Tycoon had promised during the election campaign: more funds in the entire sector of defence, public safety and Veterans ‘ associations and less to the environment, health, education. The forecast of expenditure of the United States for this year so it’s entirely focused on the so-called hard power, which includes its defence and security sectors, while it penalizes the soft power, concerning environment, health, education and diplomacy.
The funds for the military have never been so high, not counting overtime appropriations for the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico: a budget so calibrated on the hard power is new to the United States, which have always spent a lot on defense. Moreover the costs for this year are perfectly comply promoted made by Trump during the election campaign; the fight against international terrorism with greater commitment and send special troops directly on the front lines, rejections for legal immigrants and invitation to all asylum-seekers from six Muslim countries, buy new weapons and a new recruitment campaign for armate forces.
