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

The White House has submitted a budget proposal that includes a 40% increase in military spending. The proposal, which has not yet been made public, does not include any details on civilian federal pay raises.

According to reports, the proposed budget allocates billions of dollars for the development and procurement of new fighter jets, including the Air Force’s F-47 and the Navy’s F/A-XX. However, the exact amount allocated to each program is not specified.

Additionally, a recent article by Politico suggests that the White House has a sales pitch for war funding that may not be well-received by the GOP. The article does not provide further details on this proposal.

The budget proposal was submitted to Congress as part of the ongoing fiscal year 2024 spending process. It is expected to undergo review and debate in the coming weeks and months.

In related news, Axios reported earlier today that President Trump’s budget proposal includes a significant allocation for military spending, but does not provide any details on civilian federal pay raises.
