Donald Trump hopes that the United States, which is investing billions of dollars in the development of new weapons, will not have to use it. About this the president said, speaking at a gala in the state of West Virginia on the eve of the celebration of July 4 - Independence Day. According to Trump, the US is now restoring American security, reviving the country's armed forces.
For the needs of the army this year, it is planned to spend a record amount of $ 700 billion, in 2019 expenditures will rise to $ 716 billion. The American leader stressed that now the US Armed Forces are stronger than ever and added that they hope never to use the latest weapons with which the army is equipped, because the stronger the country, the less likely it is to enter into a real conflict.
