The U.S. Senate approved the defense budget for the upcoming fiscal year on Tuesday, amounting to $901 billion, after a decisive vote that received support from 77 members, reflecting a rare consensus between the two parties on U.S. national security priorities.
The vote included the Senate's approval to lift the 'Caesar Act' sanctions imposed on Syria, a notable development that could open the door to political and economic shifts in Washington's approach to the Syrian issue in the upcoming phase.
The approved defense budget is among the largest in U.S. history, including extensive funding for military programs, updating defense capabilities, and supporting deployed forces abroad, along with provisions related to cybersecurity and advanced technologies.
The project is expected to move to the final stages of legislative procedures in preparation for its full adoption, while political and diplomatic circles monitor the implications of the decision to lift the 'Caesar' sanctions and its potential impact on the regional situation.
