Trump Vetoes Bipartisan Defense Bill, Calling It ‘Gift’ to China
President Donald Trump on Wednesday vetoed the $740.5 billion U.S. defense policy bill after Congress refused to include language that would abolish liability protections for technology companies, including Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc.
“Unfortunately, the Act fails to include critical national security measures, includes provisions that fail to respect our veterans and our military’s history, and contradicts efforts by my Administration to put America first in our national security and foreign policy actions,” Trump said in a statement.
He called the bill a “gift” to China and Russia.
The Republican-controlled Senate on Dec. 11 by a wide margin passed the measure, which provides for, among many other things, military pay raises and extra pay for troops assigned to dangerous missions. The vote was 84-13, which if sustained would be more than enough to hand Trump the first veto override of his presidency. So was the House vote earlier that week: 335 to 78.
