defense_spending-economy_35178.jpg
FILE - In this Thursday, March 2, 2017, file photo, President Donald Trump gives a thumbs-up after speaking to Navy and shipyard personnel aboard the nuclear aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford at Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, Va. The ship, which is still under construction, is due to be delivered to the Navy later in the year. The area around the Virginia shipyard where Trump visited is just the kind of place that would likely feel the greatest economic impact from his requested $54 billion increase in defense spending. But outside of that kind of local impact near the shipyards or jet factories receiving additional money, experts say the increased defense spending wouldn't make much difference overall.
