The proposed funding includes $21B for defense amid Iran conflict and aid for farmers and Ebola response efforts.
The White House submitted an $87.6 billion supplemental spending request to Congress on Wednesday, targeting military operations and domestic priorities. The package allocates $21 billion to the Defense Department to support ongoing efforts related to Iran and broader security needs.
The request follows prior defense and emergency spending bills, though it exceeds recent supplemental packages in scale. It also includes funding for U.S. agricultural aid and Ebola response, reflecting broader fiscal pressures.
Markets have yet to react significantly, as the proposal requires congressional approval before implementation.
