President Trump touted the victories he said Republicans secured with a spending deal struck in Congress this week, noting Tuesday that the legislation included increased funding for the military and for border security.

“In our new budget — and it’s been a very hotly contested budget, because as you know we have to go through a long and rigorous process — but we ended years of painful cuts to our military,” Trump said during an Air Force Academy event at the White House. “We did so without having to put in place an equal increase in non-defense spending.”
