In January, the Trump administration diverted billions of dollars to the border wall that was earmarked for other military projects. The new stimulus bill would restore some of that funding.
$3.8 billion earmarked for military construction projects and counternarcotics funding on the border wall, several times what Congress allocated for the administration to spend.
The move ignited a back-and-forth with Congress, with lawmakers on both sides objecting while the Trump administration argued it had the power to “reprogram” money without congressional approval. Appropriations Chairman Richard C. Shelby , along with other Senate Republicans, spearheaded the effort, packing hundreds of millions of dollars in funding into the GOP stimulus bill for Navy planes and ships and Air Force aircraft that were zeroed out earlier this year.
Lawmakers of both parties have criticized proposals to include funding for unrelated projects in the upcoming relief bill, including aSen. Bernie Sanders lashed out at Republicans for including military spending in their stimulus proposal.
