Administration officials said the president?s first budget would seek to boost defense spending by $54 billion -- offset by an equivalent cut from other discretionary spending.
President Donald Trump was still working Monday evening on the final touches of an address to Congress that will focus on economic opportunity and national security, administration officials said.
National security was the key theme of an early glimpse of the budget the White House offered on Monday.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Monday showed Trump?s approval rating at 44 percent -- a record low for a new president.
But 85 percent of Republicans see Trump favorably, versus just 9 percent of Democrats.
