UNITED STATES PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN INCREASES SALARY OF US MILITARY OFFICERS

United States President Joe Biden has signed into law a $777.7bn United States annual military budget weeks after Congress overwhelmingly passed the bill. This is the president’s first passage of the bill since he resumed office. The White House revealed that Biden signed the piece of legislation, formally known as the National Defense Authorization Act NDAA, on Monday, noting that the bill includes a pay increase for the US armed forces. Recall that the US Senate passed the bill in an 89-10 vote on December 15, days after the House of Representatives had approved it in a vote of 363-70.
Meanwhile, the White House has expressed gratitude for the leading members of the armed services panels in the House and the Senate from both major parties for allocating about $24bn more than the Biden administration had requested for the military.
