President Signs $717 Billion Defense Bill
President Donald Trump went to Fort Drum in upstate New York on Monday to sign the nearly $717 billion National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a 2.6 percent military pay raise and could set the stage for creation of a Space Force.
Trump never mentioned Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, a harsh critic who is battling brain cancer, in his remarks to troops at the base, home to the Army‘s much-deployed 10th Mountain Division, although the bill is named the “John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.”
