The FY2027 President's Budget requests $533.3M for Office of Trade, within Homeland Security's Operations and Support account. That is up 1.4% on the FY2026 figure of $526.0M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |

| FY2027 | request | $533.3M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
