- President Donald Trump's military actions in Venezuela, Iran, and other countries have added billions to the US debt, with the Venezuela operation alone costing $11 billion per year, according to Bloomberg's Wes Kosova, citing an analysis by the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
- The Costs of War project's director, Heidi Peltier, warns that Trump's plans to spend $100 billion to rebuild Venezuela's energy industry would mean a "kind of occupation", with US taxpayers footing the bill for a military presence to stabilize the country, as reported by Bloomberg.
- Trump's threatened attacks on Iran would cost $8 million daily or $2.9 billion annually, adding to the at least $2 billion spent on military action against Iran and its proxies in 2025, with experts like retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling citing "strategic uncertainty" in the military operation's future, as quoted in The Bulwark.
