“It takes money to kill bad guys,” Hegseth said at a press briefing when asked to confirm the figure, which The Washington Post first reported Wednesday evening.

“We’re going back to Congress and our folks there to ensure that we’re properly funded,” Hegseth said.

MS NOW, citing two congressional officials, reported earlier Thursday morning that a funding request of up to $200 billion has been informally floated by the Trump administration, though no official request has yet been made.
