Michael Maloof, former senior security analyst at the Pentagon, explains that the budget focuses more on &#8220;lethality and effectiveness&#8221; than cutting costs.<\/h4>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__body\">\n<div class=\"article__block\" data-type=\"h3\">\n<h4 id=\"1121840066-1\" class=\"article__h2\">NATO and Global Influence<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__text\">The plan aims to push\u00a0NATO countries\u00a0to allocate 4-5% of their GDP for defense, with the US setting an example. The focus is on maintaining military strength and promoting &#8220;peace through strength.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__block\" data-type=\"text\">\n<h4 class=\"article__text\">&#8220;Now, what they&#8217;re trying to achieve, and I&#8217;m hearing this from Capitol Hill, is to go from maybe, try to achieve a 4% to 5% of GDP as part of the defense budget, which is the largest ever,&#8221; Maloof told Sputnik.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__block\" data-type=\"h3\">\n<h3 id=\"1121840066-2\" class=\"article__h2\">Strategic Priorities<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__block\" data-type=\"text\">\n<h4 class=\"article__text\">Key priorities include modernizing the nuclear triad, increasing\u00a0submarine forces, and addressing China\u2019s growing military capabilities, particularly in warships. Trump\u2019s goal is to deter emerging threats without using military force for regime change.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__text\">&#8220;They see China manufacturing and making operational more warships now than the United States has,&#8221; Maloof said.<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__block\" data-type=\"text\">\n<h4 class=\"article__text\">&#8220;In terms of lethality and being able to respond to what Trump believes are emerging threats, that will mean a number of strategic programs that will need to be increased, namely in your submarine force, which is the most effective of the nuclear triad, increasing and modernizing nuclear weapons, even though he&#8217;s called for a 50% cut,&#8221; he added.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__block\" data-type=\"h3\">\n<h3 id=\"1121840066-3\" class=\"article__h2\">Production and Weapon Programs<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__block\" data-type=\"text\">\n<h4 class=\"article__text\">The US defense production capacity has been lagging.
