The United States has taken a bold step in strengthening its defense by approving a staggering $895 billion military budget for fiscal year 2025.

Technological modernization is one of the pillars of the United States military budget. Investments in hypersonic weapons, space defense systems and cybersecurity are priorities to maintain military superiority over adversaries such as China and Russia. The renewal of the nuclear triad and the expansion of the space force, in partnership with companies such as SpaceX, are also part of the plan, reflecting the need to adapt to new threats and geopolitical challenges.
Economic growth of the country
Despite its high value, the military budget’s share of the United States’ GDP has been declining over the years, currently standing at around 3,5%. This relative decline is a result of the country’s strong economic growth and changes in military financing strategies. However, growing competition with China and Russia’s aggressiveness in Eastern Europe continue to shape the Pentagon’s priorities.
The 2025 military budget also faces criticism, especially regarding its long-term sustainability, given that the United States’ debt exceeds $36 trillion. Critics argue that the spending levels are unsustainable, while supporters say they are essential to ensuring national security in an increasingly unpredictable world.
The robust military budget of the United States for 2025 represents a firm commitment to modernization and expansion of military capabilities, reflecting today’s complex geopolitical dynamics. While seeking to maintain its global leadership, the country faces the challenge of balancing spending with the need for long-term economic sustainability.
