What Happened
Democrats Object To Iran War Authorization And Spending
The US Senate Democrats have blocked a $1.15 trillion annual defense policy bill, citing concerns over the Iran war and President Donald Trump’s failure to consult with Congress. The bill, which authorizes funding for military spending and geopolitical threats, did not secure the necessary 60 votes to advance. Democrats also object to the size of Trump’s defense request, which includes an additional $350 billion in funding. The blockage was reported by Reuters.
