+ A previous version of this story incorrectly said President Trump would travel to Delaware on Tuesday to receive the bodies of two U.S. soldiers killed in Jordan. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Monday evening that the ceremony would be rescheduled. Also, a previous headline and description of this story incorrectly said the Trump administration was seeking a $350 billion increase in funding from Congress, mostly for military operations in Iran. In fact, the amount is nearly $90 billion.
