US President Donald Trump has said he will make a massive budget request for one of the “greatest military build-ups in American history”, in a feisty campaign-style speech to an audience of eager conservative activists.
Key points:
- Mr Trump says the build-up will make sure “nobody is going to mess with [the US]”
- Earlier this week, he said he wanted to revamp the country’s nuclear arsenal
- He also denied reports he labelled the media an “enemy of the people”
Mr Trump used remarks to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), an organisation that gave him one of his first platforms in his improbable journey to the US presidency, to defend his unabashed “America first” policies.
Ahead of a nationally televised speech to the US Congress on Tuesday, Mr Trump outlined plans for strengthening the military, already the world’s most powerful fighting force, though he again offered few specifics.
