▶ At a meeting with governors, U.S. President Donald Trump said his first budget will focus on "public safety and "national security." President Donald Trump's defence budget and spending levels for domestic agency operating budgets will be revealed next month. Trump’s budget, once finalized and sent to Congress in mid-March, is sure to set off a huge Washington battle. Trump’s budget also won’t make significant changes to Social Security or Medicare, according to an administration official. By increasing defence and leaving Medicare and Social Security untouched, the Trump final budget plan is sure to project sizable deficits.
