Trump promises funding, equipment for troops at CENTCOM

President Trump pledged to provide new “tools, equipment and resources” to U.S. military personnel during his first visit Monday to U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida.

“We’re going to be loading it up with beautiful new planes and beautiful new equipment,” he said of MacDill Air Force Base, where he addressed about 300 U.S. troops and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford. “You’ve been lacking a little equipment, we’re going to load it up. You’re going to get a lot of equipment.”
