US Parliament rejects Trump's veto on defense budget

The US Parliament has rejected the veto imposed by Trump on the $ 740 billion Defense Spending Fund (National Defense Authorization Act). Earlier, Trump had vetoed a total of eight Bills, after which those bills could never take the shape of law. However, this time the Parliament unitedly removed Trump's veto. This is the first time in Trump's four-year presidential term. Explain that the Parliament had approved spending of $ 740 billion on the country's defense policy in the next one year.

  President Donald Trump vetoed some of the provisions of the bill, refusing to sign it, as disputed. Trump had objected to the provisions regarding the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and Europe.

  The US constitution requires a two-thirds majority of parliament to remove the president's veto. The House of Representatives has already rejected veto from 322 votes against 87 earlier this week. On Friday, the Senate voted, rejecting Trump's veto by a majority of 81–13. Trump's Republican Party MPs also voted in favor of the veto being lifted. The Democratic Party criticized President Trump for vetoing the bill. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that Trump's move had jeopardized America's national security. Two days from today, new members of parliament will take oath in the US. Joe Biden will take charge on January 20.
