Trump troop deployments in US cities cost nearly $500 mn in 2025by AFP Staff WritersWashington, United States (AFP) Jan 28, 2026President Donald Trump's contentious deployments of troops in multiple US cities cost nearly $500 million in 2025, according to an estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) published Wednesday. The deployments are set to cost tens of millions more per month this year. The cost of future deployments is "highly uncertain, mainly because the scale, length, and location of such deployments are difficult to predict accurately," Swagel wrote. In addition to domestic deployments, Trump has repeatedly employed military force outside the United States since returning to office for a second term a year ago.
