We’re moving from a slow, contractor-dominated system (marked by limited competition, vendor lock, and cost overruns) to an industrial base that drives speed, innovation, and investment—powered by America’s unmatched ability to scale quickly.

After two years of bloodshed that started with the horrific October 7th attacks carried out by Hamas against Israel, the people in the region may finally have hope for a lasting peace. I commend the president, Secretary Rubio, and all those who worked diligently to bring about a

A strategy based on peace through strength is the best approach for deterring China, Russia and Iran—the axis of aggression. It requires sustained defense spending that equals 5% of GDP, write @SenatorWicker and @SenatorFischer

Good to see @anduriltech and others pushing forward on ground-launched low-cost cruise missiles. There is currently no program for these types of missiles, but there will be soon. Reconciliation sets aside $25M to accelerate development.
Successful test of a prototype surface-launched Barracuda-500. We’re investing our own resources to deliver more affordable, producible, and flexible long range precision fires to the U.S. and our allies.

.@POTUS is exactly right. Putin only understands pure military strength and economic pain. President Trump and I believe Ukraine can win – a fact President Biden avoided saying for years. It is time to ramp up pressure on Putin to end this senseless bloodshed.
🚨 "...Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act. In any event, I wish both Countries well. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!" - PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Low-cost air defense must be a top priority. The cannon-launched hypervelocity program has great promise. That's why @SenatorWicker and @RepMikeRogersAL provided $167m in reconciliation to prevent its cancelation and accelerated it instead.
