American budgets

The US Government gave $658.1 billion to provide for the Defense Department, an increase of $68.1 billion for 2017-18. Mr Trump knows this will create jobs. But at what cost to the rest of the world. Never ending wars and selling arms is great business for America. Making other NATO countries spend 2% of their GNP on arms will be great news to the American arms supplier. This is leading to a volatile world. American has heightened tension with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and many smaller countries. They have troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, at war. Mr Trump is not good on International Politics, for example he criticised Qatar for supporting terrorism yet his biggest and busiest Airbase (with 10k troops ) overseas is in Qatar. The world needs to cut Arms proliferation. It needs to stop making arms and munitions. American needs to lead this. They could spend their on education and health care.
