The Trump administration is thinking about buying shares in US defence companies like Lockheed Martin. This comes after it bought 10% of Intel for $9 billion. Lockheed Martin earns most of its money from the US government by making weapons and defence equipment. Officials are discussing how to manage the costs of buying these defence products. The plan is still being studied by the defence leaders. This move could change how the US supports its military industry. How to understand this: The government may invest money directly in companies that make weapons to help control defence spending. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 05:48 IST; source: link)
