Now he has to figure out how to make that happen.<br\/><br\/>This will be an important story to watch in the year ahead, whether the next administration can work with Congress to find a solution to the much-reviled 2011 law that established the 10-year budget caps. The outcome will determine how much funding flexibility military leaders will have in years to come. <br\/><br\/>In recent years, Congress has passed a pair of short-term compromises to boost both defense and non-defense spending. But a long-term solution has remained elusive. <br\/><br\/>Military planners have said the caps severely hamper their ability to buy new equipment and prepare for future threats, and the five years remaining will further complicate their work. \u00a0<br\/><br\/>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said shortly after the election that he views undoing sequestration as an area where Trump and his critics can work together. <br\/><br\/>But President Barack Obama made similar attempts to work with Congress, only to become mired in the long-running political argument: Republicans want increases for defense programs only, and Democrats want the caps removed for both defense and non-defense programs. <br\/><br\/>How Trump handles those negotiations will set the tone for his relationship with skeptics on Capitol Hill, and it will dictate just how much money he&#8217;ll have to deliver his ambitious military agenda. <br\/><br\/><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" data-show-count=\"false\" data-size=\"large\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeoShane\" title=\"Link: https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeoShane\">Follow @LeoShane<\/a><br\/><br\/> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script> <div dir=\"ltr\"> <i>Leo Shane III covers Congress, Veterans Affairs and the White House for Military Times.
