On July 23, 2026, high-level officials from the Trump administration, including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, met with defense industry stakeholders at the White House. The meeting focused on the administration's vision for the House of Representatives' budget reconciliation package, which includes funding for military operations related to Iran. Attendees included leaders from 17 defense contractors such as Raytheon, BAE Systems, and Lockheed Martin. The administration aims to align these companies on the importance of passing the reconciliation package, referred to as 'Reconciliation 3.0,' which proposes $73 billion for Pentagon and intelligence funding. The budget reconciliation process allows the ruling party to pass significant fiscal policy without the need for bipartisan support. The House has already passed a framework for the budget, and committees are now tasked with detailing the allocation of funds. President Trump has urged House Republicans to support the budget resolution.
