US President Donald Trump has called on Congress to quickly pass "Reconciliation 3.0," a legislative package that includes $350 billion in defence funding. He made the appeal in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. Trump said the House and Senate should make the bill their top priority.

In his post, Trump praised the current state of the US military. He claimed it has reached a historic level of strength and readiness. He also highlighted recent recruitment achievements and said the armed forces continue to attract new members at a record pace.

"The United States Military has never been stronger, or more powerful," Trump announced in the post.

He also said the military had already achieved new recruitment records well before the expected timeline. Trump linked these achievements to the morale of service members. He said confidence within the armed forces remains high.

"This year, we set even more Historic Recruiting Records, months ahead of schedule. Morale has never been higher. Our Military’s unmatched POWER was on full display during our Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence and, like our Country, the WAR DEPARTMENT has never been 'HOTTER.' We need to keep it that way."

Trump urged lawmakers to move forward with the legislation without delay. He described Reconciliation 3.0 as the most important task before Congress. He also referred to another proposal that he wants lawmakers to pass along with the defence funding package.

"The SAVE AMERICA ACT, which everyone is asking for, paired with the full funding of our Great Department of War, can be passed very quickly, ensuring that the United States of America stays FREE for Generations to come," he declared.

The proposed legislation has already faced resistance from some Republican lawmakers. In June, Politico reported that several members of the House Budget Committee said they would not support Reconciliation 3.0 unless Congress fully paid for the bill on a yearly basis. Their position reflects ongoing concerns over government spending and budget responsibility.

House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington said lawmakers could fully cover the cost of the legislation through existing efforts aimed at reducing fraud. He expressed confidence that enough funding already exists. He also questioned whether lawmakers have the determination to move ahead with those measures.

"We know the money’s there. The question is, do we have the political will as a conference to do those things?” Arrington said.

The debate over Reconciliation 3.0 extends beyond funding. Earlier in June, Politico reported that members of the House Freedom Caucus demanded additional policy changes before supporting the bill. They called for an extension of the ban on political funding for abortion providers. They also sought the removal of clean energy tax credits from the legislation.

These demands highlight the political negotiations surrounding the proposal. While Trump has asked Congress to move quickly, lawmakers continue to discuss the bill's funding and policy provisions. The differing views within the Republican Party could shape the final version of the legislation.

Trump's latest statement places a strong focus on military spending. He argues that continued investment will help maintain the country's defence capabilities for the future. At the same time, lawmakers remain divided over how to finance the proposal and what additional measures it should include. Congress will now decide whether Reconciliation 3.0 moves forward in its current form or undergoes further changes before any vote takes place.
