The 2021 defense budget, previously vetoed by US President Donald Trump, has been approved by the House of Representatives by a two-thirds majority in the House of Representatives.
In the United States, senators convened an emergency meeting on the first day of 2021 to vote on a 23 740 billion National Defense Authorization Bill vetoed by Trump on December 23.
While the bill was passed with 81 positive votes in response to 13 negative votes, Trump's veto power has been surpassed.
The bill is the first bill to gain legitimacy under Trump's veto power during his four-year presidency.
Trump vetoed the bill, calling for a halt to the decline in US troop numbers in Germany and South Korea, not making changes that would allow social media firms to legally impose more responsibilities, and the names of Confederate-era commanders. He was criticized for keeping such reasons aside.
