The news report states that its purpose is to immediately increase the production of necessary weapons that have been spent.

It is said that separate requests for ‘funding’ have been submitted by the Pentagon in the last two weeks.The newspaper says that the latest request for an increase in the amount could cause a major political fight in Congress.
