"The director of national intelligence has disclosed that the cumulative appropriation request for fiscal year 2024 is $72.4 billion," the intelligence agency said in a statement.

The details of the request are classified.

On March 9, the Biden administration requested $842 billion in military spending for fiscal year 2024, up 3.2% from 2023.

The draft budget contains the allocation of money to get ahead of China in global competition and continued support for Ukraine.

In particular, the White House asked for $753 million to "counter Russian influence" in Ukraine and $400 million for a "China containment" fund.
