What does the "Defense sequester" mean

Hello everyone. I have a question.

What does the "Defense sequester" mean, which was mentioned in Donald Trump's first address to Congress as the President? Does it mean a spending cap imposed on the military budget or something? Besides, is "sequester" a noun in this expression?

  

Top answer

Yes, it relates to spending caps and cuts. sequester is a verb, but seems to be used here as a noun. The true noun form is sequestration.
