Senator Tammy Baldwin Questions Defense Secretary on Military Deployment and Budget Concerns

Published | Video Starts at 02:19

I'd also note that there's no mention of the destroyers [in the budget request for the Department of Defense]. as I said. So really, we are looking at a very incomplete budget request when we are just four months out from the beginning of the next fiscal year. (02:19–02:25)
