Over his first 100 days in office, Trump’s White House had released just 29 of the 146 transcripts of his speeches, news conferences and interactions with news media.

Trump, for example, has never released any of his tax returns and his White House does not make public its visitors’ logs. »

The list of required systems is staggering, including a minimum of 400 fighter aircraft and 600 main battle tanks, along with numerous other types of armament.

From a financial perspective, IISS estimates that over 70% of total rearmament costs would go toward air and naval forces.

However, the imbalance is due largely to the high unit cost of air and naval platforms rather than operational priorities. »
