President Donald Trump aims to increase the Pentagon's budget by $54 billion, as part of a push to rebuild America's "depleted military." Trump also promised to rein in domestic spending and do more with less.

Details of the new budget will be unveiled sometime in March, but the president is expected to preview portions of it during Tuesday's night address to Congress.

In a Monday meeting with governors at the White House, Trump said the budget will be heavy on "public safety and national security" and feature a "historic increase of defense spending to rebuild the depleted military."

Among the other priorities he brought up were repealing and replacing Obamacare, expediting environmental reviews, and investing in the crumbling US infrastructure.

"We're going to do more with less," Trump said, "and make the government lean and accountable."

The Obama administration requested $582.7 billion to fund the Department of Defense in fiscal year 2017, including the $58.8 billion for the warfighting "overseas contingency operations" fund.
