White House requests $87.6 billion supplemental from Congress, with $67.15 billion for Defense Department

The White House submitted a request to Congress on June 24, 2026, for $87.6 billion in emergency appropriations. The request allocates $67.15 billion to the Defense Department for personnel, readiness, and replenishment of munitions and stocks. Within the Defense Department total, $21 billion is designated for munitions replenishment and industrial-base strengthening.

The request also includes $1.4 billion for response to the Ebola outbreak, $1.1 billion for Florida farmers affected by winter storms, $300 million for elevator repairs in federal buildings, $500 million for restoration projects at Washington, D.C., memorials, and $1 billion for Penn Station repairs in New York City.

The Pentagon has not released a public estimate of the total cost of operations against Iran beyond the $29 billion figure cited in congressional statements. The request states that the Defense Department funding addresses "urgent" requirements following military operations.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with leaders from Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates in Kuwait City on June 24, 2026. He is scheduled to attend a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting in Bahrain on June 25, 2026. Rubio stated that the United States is "completely aligned" with Gulf allies on Iran and will protect their interests in peace talks.

He said the United States remains committed to keeping the Strait of Hormuz open without tolls or fees.

Technical talks between the United States and Iran are expected to resume in the coming days following an initial round held in Switzerland under Pakistani mediation. A 60-day period has been set for reaching a longer-term agreement.

No statements from Iranian officials regarding the supplemental funding request appear in the source materials.
