华盛顿讯—— 亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利周日表示，特朗普政府提出的1.5万亿美元国防开支预算申请“离谱”。
“他们需要提交一份符合我们当前局势的合理国防预算，”凯利在《与玛格丽特·布伦南会面》节目中说道。
上月，本届政府公布了2027财年预算提案，该提案将作为与国会就年度开支进行谈判的起点。该提案较2026年的国防开支水平将增加42%。
“五年半前我进入参议院时，国防预算刚超过7000亿美元，”凯利说。“现在他们要求的资金是当时的两倍——几乎相当于世界其他国家的国防开支总和。”
作为参议院军事委员会成员，凯利表示，该预算提案的部分内容存在严重问题。除了为军人加薪和补充关键弹药外，这笔资金还将用于建设天基“金色穹顶”导弹防御系统等项目。
“其中有些项目，比如金色穹顶，”他说。“这些项目的物理技术难度非常非常高。我非常确信我们会花掉大笔钱，最后得到一套无法正常运作的系统。”
除了预算申请外，白宫预计还将向国会申请追加拨款，以覆盖对伊朗战争的开支。一名五角大楼官员上月末在国会听证会上表示，这场战争的成本约为250亿美元。但当时了解内部评估的美国官员透露，伊朗战争的实际代价可能接近500亿美元。
与此同时，凯利对美国在对伊朗战争中的弹药储备状况表示担忧，他援引了五角大楼关于具体弹药情况的简报。
“我认为可以公平地说，我们动用这些弹药储备的程度令人震惊，因为本届总统在没有战略目标、没有计划、没有时间表的情况下让我国卷入了这场战争，”凯利说。
“正因为如此，我们消耗了大量弹药，这意味着美国民众的安全受到了威胁。”
他说：“无论是在西太平洋与中国发生冲突，还是在世界其他任何地方发生冲突，我们的弹药都已耗尽。”

Sen. Mark Kelly says Trump administration’s $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget request is “outrageous”
May 10, 2026 / 1:09 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona said Sunday that the Trump administration’s $1.5 trillion budget request for defense spending is “outrageous.”
“They need to submit a defense budget that makes sense for the moment we’re in,” Kelly said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan”.
Last month, the administration released its fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, which serves as a starting point for negotiations with Congress over annual spending. The proposal would mark a 42% increase in defense spending from 2026 levels.
“When I got to the Senate five and a half years ago, the defense budget was just over $700 billion,” Kelly said. “Now they’re asking for twice as much money — it’s nearly the amount that the rest of the world pays for its defense.”
Kelly, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said some of the budget proposal’s components pose serious difficulties. In addition to a pay raise for troops and resupplying critical munitions, the funds would also go toward building a space-based “Golden Dome” missile defense system, among other things.
“There’s stuff in there, like Golden Dome,” he said. “The physics on that stuff is really, really hard. I’m very confident we’re going to spend a lot of money, we’re going to get a system that doesn’t work.”
Along with the budget request, the White House is expected to ask Congress for a supplemental spending package to cover the cost of the war with Iran. A Pentagon official said at a congressional hearings late last month that the cost of the war was about $25 billion. But U.S. officials familiar with internal assessments suggested at the time that the Iran war’s price tag could be closer to $50 billion.
Meanwhile, Kelly expressed concern about the state of the U.S.’ munitions stockpile amid the war with Iran, citing Pentagon briefings detailing specific munitions.
“I think it’s fair to say it’s shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines, because this president got our country into this without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline,” Kelly said.
The Arizona Democrat said “because of that, we’ve expended a lot of munitions, and that means the American people are less safe.”
“Whether it’s a conflict in the western Pacific with China or somewhere else in the world, the munitions are depleted,” he said.
