President Donald Trump is pressing congressional Republicans to enact a historic investment in America’s military and economy and pass a voter ID requirement.
In a Truth Social post late Wednesday, Trump called on lawmakers to pass “IMMEDIATELY” a proposed $350 billion reconciliation package—dubbed “Recon 3.0”—that he says is essential to rebuilding U.S. defense capabilities and securing the nation’s future. Reconciliation is a Senate procedure reserved for budget-related measures by which the chamber can pass them with a simple majority vote, as opposed to the normal requirement of 60 votes to end debate on a bill.
“No games, no delays, and no weak compromises,” Trump wrote, framing the legislation as a defining moment for national security and American leadership.
At the heart of Trump’s proposal is an effort to push total defense spending toward $1.5 trillion, which the president has described as necessary to create what he calls an “arsenal of freedom.” The additional funding, he argues, would accelerate major initiatives, including next-generation aircraft like the F-47 and B-21, expanded ammunition production, and increased investments in drone warfare and the Space Force.
Trump also highlighted ambitious projects such as the “Golden Dome” missile defense system and a “Golden Fleet” naval expansion, presenting them as key pillars of a broader strategy to deter foreign adversaries and maintain U.S. dominance across land, sea, air, and space.
Beyond military spending, the president is insisting that the bill include the SAVE America Act, an election reform package that would require photo identification and proof of citizenship to vote, while restricting most mail-in ballots. Trump argued the changes would “protect our elections for generations to come.”

Still, Trump made clear that he views the package as non-negotiable.
“This is a generational investment in our military,” Trump wrote, urging Congress to act quickly to secure what he describes as long-term peace through strength.
