President Donald Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Dec. 18, authorizing $901 billion in military and national security programs for Fiscal Year 2026.

The $901 billion topline authorization comes as a compromise between the House, which initially sought an $893 billion authorization, and the Senate, which initially sought $925 billion.
