The US President Donald Trump confirmed his intention to block the approved by the US Congress draft defense budget. He announced this on his page in Twitter .
“China will benefit the most from our new defense budget! I will veto it,” wrote the current head of the White House.
Earlier, the draft defense budget for the current fiscal year, which began in the country on October 1, was approved by the US Congress. He received the required number of votes in both chambers.
December 4 it was reported that Trump decided to block the defense budget with sanctions against “Nord Stream-2”. In his opinion, it is necessary to abolish Article 230 of the Law on Decency in Messages, which endangers elections and national security. According to this clause, social networks are not responsible for user comments, while they can make changes to them. Trump and his administration are in favor of holding sites accountable for censorship.
