The US President Donald Trump vetoed a congressional resolution to repeal his decree proclaiming a state of emergency at the US-Mexico border, CNBC reported.
Donald Trump vetoes congressional resolution on border emergency
STEPANAKERT, MARCH 16, ARTSAKHPRESS: Lawmakers, including 12 Republicans, vetoed the resolution on Thursday.
The Congress will now need two thirds of a majority in both houses to reject the veto, but this is unlikely to happen.
The state of emergency at the US-Mexican border was announced by the president in order to obtain financing for the construction of a wall at the border of both countries.
