Vicky Hartzler: Chinese military threat is real, Biden cuts defense budget

The military threat from China is real, and if our nation does not keep up with this threat, there will be serious repercussions. Despite this threat, President Biden has failed to demonstrate his commitment to supporting a strong national defense that will provide a credible deterrent against China. Our commander in chief is asking Congress to cut defense spending by $4 billion in real dollars at a time when China is rapidly increasing its capabilities and threatening stability in the Pacific.

Vicky Hartzler: Defense budget should invest in future capabilities

A responsible defense budget would invest in future capabilities, while ensuring current capabilities are still available before replacements are operational. Unfortunately, this proposed budget will erase years of progress made in rebuilding and modernizing our military. Congress must make the responsible national security decision and adequately fund our military to ensure our service members have the resources needed to address and deter China today and meet evolving threats in the future.
