Trump says he expects his ally Elon Musk to find billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. The Pentagon’s budget is approaching $1 trillion per year. In December, then-President Joe Biden signed a bill authorising $895bn in defence spending for the fiscal year ending on September 30. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz suggested the Pentagon’s shipbuilding processes could be an area of particular interest. Over his three weeks in office, Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders aimed at slashing federal spending. On Saturday, the Trump administration ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work. Democrats have slammed Trump’s efforts.
