The US House of Representatives approved yesterday evening, Tuesday, by an overwhelming majority the $ 741 billion defense spending bill, after approval by 335 votes against 78 against.

The Senate will then vote on the National Defense Authorization Act, which is also expected to pass by an overwhelming majority.

This comes at a time when US President Donald Trump has threatened to veto the bill.

Trump said on Twitter that I hope House Republicans will vote against the very weak National Defense Authorization Act that I will veto.
