A Discussion with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Rumbaugh: The Navy’s FY25 Budget Request

Amid war in Europe and the United States’ great-power competition with China, the White House released its new defense budget request. In fiscal year (FY) 2025, the Navy’s funding topline was boosted, as it is expected to play a central role in any future conflict. With increased funding, how is the Navy prioritizing spending to counter our looming threats? Were strategic decisions made to limit the negative effects of a high operations tempo or bolster naval shipyard production? What areas of asymmetric advantage does this budget lean into, and what programs seek to reduce our potential adversaries’ advantages?

Please join us as Assistant Secretary of the Navy Russell Rumbaugh sits down with AEI Senior Fellow Todd Harrison to discuss the Navy’s budget request for FY2025.
