U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Over and FY27 Budget Outlook Is Murky into Fall
Host: Roman Schweizer, Managing Director, Washington Research Group - Aerospace & Defense Policy Analyst, TD Cowen
In this episode, Roman Schweizer, the Washington Research Group geopolitics & defense analyst for TD Cowen, is joined by an all-star reporter roundtable. Together we discuss the resumed war between the U.S. and Iran, the complicated picture of defense spending heading into FY27 and a preview of the Farnborough International Air Show. The budget outlook is muddled along multiple tracks (the base budget, a third or fourth reconciliation package and a Department of War supplemental request). Finally, Congress needs to get a continuing resolution in place before October 1 or there could be a shutdown.
