Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday that the Pentagon’s reported $200 billion budget request for Iran war funding “could move.”
“It takes money to kill bad guys,” Hegseth said at a press briefing when asked to confirm the figure.
President Donald Trump’s National Economic Council director, Kevin Hassett, said Sunday the war has already cost $12 billion.
Hegseth also said “our ungrateful allies in Europe” should be thanking Trump, shortly before some of them committed to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
