India, July 22 -- US Secretary Of War Pete Hegseth has sought an additional $87 billion in congressional funding for the Pentagon, out of which $67 billion to continue operations in the Middle East war.

Hegseth and Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Capitol Hill Tuesday, where the two leaders spoke in support of President Donald Trump's June 24 supplemental budget request to Congress.
