> Trump's 2019 budget book is called "An American budget".

> Why "an" -- not "the"? After all, we know it is about the US budget for 2019.
> I'd say "The American 2019 budget" or "The US' 2019 budget".

It isn't "The" budget until it is approved, right?  My guess is that there
will be more than one edition before that happens.
