(Aditya Shaw, Intern Journalist): Washington-US President Donald Trump has vetoed the Annual Defense Policy Bill. Trump said the bill would help Russia and China. About a week ago, the US Parliament passed this $ 740 billion defense policy bill.
Trump overrides vote for the first time in his tenure-This is perhaps the first time in the tenure of 45th US President Donald Trump when he has overridden a bill. The bill confirms a 3 percent increase in the salaries of American soldiers. Also empowers over the US $ 740 billion in military programs and construction.
Trump had threatened to cancel the bill-The bill became the National Defense Authority Act (NDAA) after it was passed in the US Parliament. The bill was endorsed by MPs in the House of Representatives and the Senate (both houses of parliament). Now it had to be approved by the President, but President Trump had already said that the bill does not have a provision for legal protection for social media companies. In such a situation, he will exercise his exclusive right to veto this bill.
India-China tension is also mentioned in the bill-Significantly, this bill mentions the ongoing tension between India and China on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). In fact, the resolution attached to it was presented by the Indian American MP Raja Krishnamurthy. It said that China should not try to penetrate or tamper with India’s border. Parliament passed the bill and incorporated the resolution of King Krishnamurthy.
