Disputes between U.S. Republicans and Democrats over President Donald Trump'...
WASHINGTON - Disputes between U.S. Republicans and Democrats over President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall, Space Force and his ability to launch a war with Iran are among the biggest obstacles Congress faces in passing a massive annual defense policy bill.
The NDAA has been signed into law every year since 1961, one of the few major pieces of legislation that always gets through Congress despite deep divides between the two parties. This is the first year of Trump’s presidency that Democrats have controlled one house of Congress. Trump has already threatened to veto the version of the measure passed by the Democratic-controlled House, partly over his desire to build a wall on the border with Mexico.
“I appreciate the questions, but we’re not going to tell you how we’re going to have an outcome here at this press conference,” Smith said.
