Defense budget work on Capitol Hill remains halted until Congress finds a compromise on the looming debt limit crisis.
House Armed Services Committee members were supposed to begin public work on their initial draft of the annual defense authorization bill last week, but Republican leaders halted those plans until sometime next month. Senate lawmakers similarly have pushed back the defense policy work until mid-June, after they see what political deals are made in the next few weeks.

FYI:
"Republicans voted to raise the debt ceiling three times when Donald Trump was president, with no preconditions."
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gop-debt-ceiling-trump-presidency/
And there is this:
"During Donald Trump’s whole presidency, the U.S. national debt increased by $8.18 trillion, a percentage increase of 40.43%. This is less than Barack Obama (69.98%) and George W. Bush (105.8%). However, Donald Trump was in office for only 4 years compared to 8 years for both Barack Obama and George W. Bush."

So, let's get that done, then talk about the rest.

Did GOP Vote To Raise Debt Ceiling 3 Times with No Preconditions During Trump Era?
Democrats cried foul when House Republicans passed a bill in 2023 mandating trillions of dollars in spending cuts along with raising the debt ceiling.
