The future of the U.S. military presence in Hawai'i is under debate due to the upcoming expiration of leases for approximately 46,000 acres of military base land. These leases, which were originally granted by the state of Hawai'i in the 1960s, are set to expire in 2028. The state of Hawai'i and the Trump administration are engaged in discussions regarding the future of these lands, involving members of Hawai'i’s Congress and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
