WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump wants a pay raise for troops, more high-tech missiles and drones in next year's defense budget, while cutting Navy jobs, and buying fewer ships and fighter jets to save money, according to budget materials posted Wednesday.
At $892.6 billion, the defense and national security budget request is flat compared with this year.
