President Donald Trump signed the annual National Defense Authorization Act into law Thursday, establishing spending for the Pentagon and other priorities for the 2026 fiscal year.The over 3,000-page annual defense bill passed the Senate on Wednesday, giving the Defense Department $901 billion in military spending for the next fiscal year. The House of Representatives passed the bill last week.
The NDAA includes a pay increase of 4% for military service members, improved military housing, $400 million in aid for Ukraine over the next two years, and a restriction on U.S. investment in China. It also withholds a portion of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget until he turns over unedited footage of U.S. military strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.
The president did not comment on the legislation or speak to reporters about signing it into law, but the White House confirmed that the legislation has been signed.
