Iran Press/ America: After the US Congress passed a $740 billion defense funding bill over the objections of Donald Trump, the US president said on Twitter that he would veto the legislation, though Congress likely has the votes to override it.
According to US media, Trump claims that this bill could potentially benefit China, so he's threatened to reject the annual bill before, despite Congress passing the bill by margins that would allow lawmakers to override the US president's veto.
The legislation passed the Republican-led Senate by 84-13, while it passed the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives by 335-78.
The $740.5 billion bill covers the US military's budget for the year and includes pay raises for service members.
