The Senate has passed a national defense bill that provides a large amount of funding for certain vehicles manufactured in Ohio, despite threats from Trump to veto it.
The National Defense Authorization Act was passed by the Senate on Friday which includes a $1.1 billion plan to upgrade military vehicles made by Limaâs Joint Systems Manufacturing Center. This is the same bill that President Donald Trump has promised to veto. Regardless of Trumpâs decision, the Senate has enough votes on the bill to overcome a veto.
Sen. Sherrod Brown says, âPresident Trump is throwing one last temper tantrum on his way out the door threatening to veto this bill and something on social media that heâs angry about. It would be a terrible mistake to veto it.â
