The remaining $12.1 billion would go to DOD classified programs.

Another $10.0 billion of funding would be used to provide temporary economic assistance to farmers that planted row and specialty crops in crop year 2026. An additional $1.1 billion would go to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Processing, Research, and Marketing Account to help farmers in Florida who suffered losses due to winter storms in late 2025 and early 2026.

The U.S. Coast Guard would receive $2.0 billion to support DOD activities in the Middle East and to fill in gaps where DOD assets are unavailable, including operations at the U.S. Southern Border.

A total of $2.0 billion would go to support U.S. diplomatic programs. This includes $1.4 billion for the Worldwide Security Protection program, $0.9 billion for the Department of State’s Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems program, $0.3 billion for the Embassy Security, Construction, and Maintenance Account, $0.2 billion for the Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Services Account, and $0.1 billion for U.S. missions’ operations.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation would get $1.0 billion to increase the benefit levels for participants in certain pension plans that were supported by the Delphi Corporation and terminated because of General Motors’ bankruptcy in 2009.

The Federal Railroad Administration would receive $1.0 billion to support the design and construction of a modernized Penn Station. The Federal Buildings Fund would receive $0.6 billion to support capital projects across the country.

Conclusion

The Trump Administration’s $87.6-billion supplemental funding request reflects a broad effort to address both domestic and international priorities, with most funding dedicated to replenishing military resources used during the conflict in the Middle East. The package also includes targeted support for farmers, diplomatic and humanitarian programs, infrastructure investments, and federal facilities. As Congress continues to face delays in completing FY 2027 appropriations, lawmakers will need to determine whether and how to advance this supplemental request alongside ongoing negotiations over regular government funding.
