The President of the United States (US), Donald Trump used his veto power to reject the defense fund (Bill) Bill passed by Congress this month.
Trump objected to provisions that would restrict his decision to recall US troops in Afghanistan and Europe and rename military bases.
In addition, Trump also criticized the bill for refusing to comply with his request to stop liability protection for social media companies known as Section 230.
Trump also claimed that the bill would help Russia and China if Section 230 of the bill was not changed.
Legislators passed the bill with a large majority and likely overcame the President's rejection.
If Congress does not override Trump's veto in the case, this is the first time in 60 years that the National Defense Permission Act (NDAA) will not be passed.
"Unfortunately, the bill failed to include critical national security measures, including provisions that do not respect military veterans and our military history and are contrary to my administration's efforts to prioritize America in matters of national security and foreign policy," Trump said. statement issued.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of the House of Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, stressed that Trump's actions would endanger the military, security forces and undermine Congress.
"When our country has just faced a massive cyber attack, it is very difficult to understand the reason behind the President's irresponsible actions," Pelosi said in a statement issued.
