Rais wa Marekani, Donald Trump, amesema bajeti ya kijeshi ya Marekani kwa mwaka 2027 inapaswa kuwa dola trilioni 1.5 (sawa na takribani Shilingi za Tanzania trilioni 3.6 ), ikiwa ni ongezeko kubwa kutoka dola bilioni 901 (sawa na takribani Shilingi za Tanzania trilioni 2. 23) zilizoidhinishwa na Bunge la Marekani kwa mwaka 2026. Tangazo hilo limesababisha hisa za makampuni ya ulinzi kupanda, huku wataalamu wa masuala ya bajeti wakionesha mashaka juu ya utekelezaji wake.
Ongezeko lolote la bajeti ya kijeshi litahitaji idhini ya Bunge la Marekani, jambo linaloweza kuwa changamoto, ingawa Warepublican wa Trump, ambao wana wingi mdogo katika Seneti na Baraza la Wawakilishi, wameonesha kutokuwa na nia ya kupinga mipango yake ya matumizi ya fedha.
Kupitia chapisho kwenye mtandao wake wa Truth Social, Trump alisema uamuzi wa bajeti ya kijeshi ya 2027 umefikiwa “baada ya mazungumzo marefu na magumu na Maseneta, Wabunge, Mawaziri na wawakilishi wengine wa kisiasa… hususan katika nyakati hizi zenye misukosuko na hatari kubwa.”
Katika siku chache zilizopita, majeshi ya Marekani yalimkamata Rais wa Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, na kumuondoa madarakani. Ikulu ya White House pia imesema Trump anajadili chaguo mbalimbali za kuipata Greenland, ikiwemo uwezekano wa kutumia jeshi la Marekani. Aidha, Trump ametuma wanajeshi wa Marekani kusimamia ulinzi katika miji kadhaa nchini humo.
Habari hizi zilifuata chapisho jingine la Trump kwenye Truth Social alilolenga kuyashambulia makampuni ya ulinzi kwa kuzalisha silaha kwa kasi ndogo. Katika chapisho hilo, Trump aliahidi kuzuia makandarasi wa ulinzi kulipa gawio au kununua upya hisa zao hadi watakapoongeza kasi ya uzalishaji.
Trump alisema matumizi hayo ya ziada yatafadhiliwa na mapato yatokanayo na ushuru (tariffs) alioweka kwa karibu kila nchi na sekta nyingi za viwanda, akidai kuwa Marekani bado itaweza kupunguza deni la taifa na hata kuwalipa wananchi wa kipato cha kati “dividend.”
Kamati ya Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, taasisi huru ya utafiti wa sera za kifedha, imekadiria kuwa pendekezo hilo litagharimu dola trilioni 5 hadi mwaka 2035 na kuongeza deni la taifa la Marekani kwa dola trilioni 5.8 ikijumuisha riba. Kamati hiyo ilisema ni nusu tu ya gharama hizo inayoweza kufidiwa na ushuru uliopo sasa, ikibainisha kuwa Mahakama ya Juu inaweza kutangaza baadhi ya ushuru kuwa ni kinyume cha sheria.
Kwa upande wake, Bipartisan Policy Center imekadiria kuwa ushuru kwa ujumla uliingiza dola bilioni 288 mwaka 2025, kiasi kilicho chini ya makadirio ya Trump mwenyewe, ambayo katika siku za karibuni yamekuwa yakizunguka dola bilioni 600.
Mchambuzi wa masuala ya ulinzi kutoka Capital Alpha Partners, Byron Callan, alisema chapisho la Trump limeibua maswali kuhusu fedha hizo zitaelekezwa wapi na kama sekta ya ulinzi inaweza hata kuhimili ongezeko hilo kubwa.
Aliongeza kuwa mara ya mwisho Wizara ya Ulinzi ya Marekani kushuhudia ongezeko la zaidi ya asilimia 50 ilikuwa mwaka 1951 wakati wa Vita ya Korea, huku ongezeko kubwa zaidi chini ya Rais wa zamani Ronald Reagan mwaka 1981 na 1982 likiwa ni asilimia 25 na 20 mtawalia.
Baada ya soko kufungwa, hisa za makampuni makubwa ya ulinzi zilipanda, huku wawekezaji wakiamini kuwa ongezeko la matumizi ya kijeshi litaongeza faida za makampuni hayo.

Trump calls for $1.5 trillion military budget in 2027, up from $901 bln in 2026
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the 2027 U.S. military budget should be $1.5 trillion, significantly higher than the $901 billion approved by Congress for 2026, boosting defense stocks, but sparking skepticism among budget experts.
Any such increase in the military budget would require congressional authorization, which could pose a challenge, although Trump's Republicans, who hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives, have shown little appetite for objecting to Trump's spending plans.
Trump said in a Truth Social post that he made the decision on 2027 military spending "after long and difficult negotiations with Senators, Congressmen, Secretaries, and other Political Representatives... especially in these very troubled and dangerous times."
In just the last few days, U.S. forces seized Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro from his country, toppling him from power. The White House has also said that Trump is discussing options for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the U.S. military. Trump has also deployed U.S. troops to police a number of cities across the country.
The news followed a separate Truth Social post from Trump blasting defense companies for producing weapons too slowly. In it he pledged to block defense contractors from paying dividends or buying back shares until they accelerated production.
Trump said the extra spending would be covered by revenues generated by tariffs he has imposed on nearly every country and many industrial sectors, and the U.S. would still be able to reduce its debt and send dividend checks to "moderate income" Americans.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan think tank, estimated the proposal would cost $5 trillion through 2035, while adding $5.8 trillion to the U.S. debt with interest. It said only half the cost could be covered by tariffs in place now, noting that the Supreme Court could rule that a large set of tariffs were illegal.
The Bipartisan Policy Center estimates that combined tariffs raised $288 billion in 2025, well below Trump's own estimates, which have fluctuated around $600 billion in recent days.
Byron Callan, a defense analyst with Capital Alpha Partners, said Trump's post raised questions about where the funds would be directed and whether they could even be absorbed by the defense sector.
He said the last time the U.S. Defense Department saw an increase higher than 50% was in 1951 during the Korean War, with even huge surges in military spending under former President Ronald Reagan in 1981 and 1982 amounting to 25% and 20%.
In trading after the market closed, shares in the biggest defense firms rose on the news as investors bet a surge in spending would bolster profits.
