Trump promises huge boost in military spending
None
Republican nominee Donald Trump vowed to boost military spending by tens of billions of dollars on Wednesday, outlining plans for a major increases in the number of active troops, Navy ships, submarines and fighter planes, as he works to convince skeptics in both parties that he's ready to lead the world's most powerful military.
The New York businessman, who has struggled at times to demonstrate a command of foreign policy, also seemed to acknowledge he does not currently have a plan to address cyber security or the threat of ISIS. If elected, Trump said he would give military leaders 30 days to formulate a plan to defeat the group, and that he would ask the joint chiefs of staff to conduct a review of the nation's cyber defenses to determine all vulnerabilities.
Trump's address came hours before his national security acumen is tested at a "commander-in-chief" forum on NBC.
