Trump vows to veto bills from Democrats
Published
President Donald Trump has promised to use his veto power to block bills from Congress in the United States. Congress is controlled by the Democrats. Trump said this before the weekend.
The veto power means the president can reject a law that Congress has passed. When the president uses a veto, the law does not take effect. Congress can still override the veto, but then two-thirds of the members in both the House of Representatives and the Senate must vote for the law.
The matter is first and foremost about the political situation in the United States. The US is nevertheless an important partner for Norway, both politically and economically, and therefore political conflicts in Washington are also followed closely in this country.
It is not yet known which specific bills the veto pledge applies to. Developments in the matter will show how the conflict between the president and Congress is handled in the time ahead.
