During an interview that aired Thursday on the Christian Broadcasting Network, President Trump described his disdain for military spending in the Middle East citing a figure on the high end of Brown's Costs of War report. "A Brown University study said: 'By 2053, interest costs will be at least $7.9 trillion unless the U.S. changes the way it pays for the wars.'"
