Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

President Trump has requested $1.5 trillion for military spending as part of his proposed budget.

According to reports, the White House is seeking this amount for various defense and homeland security initiatives.

The request includes funding for agencies such as the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

In response to the proposal, some lawmakers have expressed opposition to the plan, with one Democrat calling it “morally bankrupt.”

Additionally, the White House has not included a provision for a pay raise for civilian federal employees in its budget proposal.

The proposed budget is currently under review by lawmakers.
