Today’s Stars & Stripes reports that VA’s Budget Would Climb to Nearly $200 Billion Under Trump Proposal. In addition, the Associated Press issued a Fact Check, questioning Trump’s Inflated Claim on Costs of War. AP reported that the past 17 years of war in and around Iraq and Afghanistan have actually cost $4.3 trillion, and not the $7 trillion claimed by the president.
