President Donald Trump wants to see a substantial increase in US military spending and look to safeguard Medicare and Social Security from any reductions in his first main step toward compiling a budget proposal for the coming fiscal year. On Monday, the White House will issue the outlines of a budget proposal to federal agencies.

The budget outline will also call for reductions to several federal agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency. The announcement will take place a day before Trump's joint congressional address on Tuesday, where he will have to lay out his agenda and legislative priorities.

Trump always wanted to increase the military power of US and this could take place soon. Trump is first expected to address the new budget outline when he meets at the White House on Monday with governors from around the country.

There will be big changes in the budget

The changes in the budget will go hand in hand with Trump's policy proposals during the campaign, when he called for substantial increases to military spending and also vowed to protect Social Security and Medicare. The proposed budget reductions to agencies like the EPA also do not come as a surprise.

Trump often attacked what he described as the agency's burdensome regulations and has vowed to reduce regulations throughout the federal government, a plan he believes will be an even bigger benefit to US businesses than tax reductions, which he also hopes to deliver on. Trump has always wanted to revitalize the US economy.

His pick to lead the EPA, former Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, is a climate change skeptic who had many legal battles against the agency in his previous role. Lately, Trump wants Nato countries to increase their financial obligations and he also wants to improve the military capabilities of US.
