Trump first exercised the veto!

On the 15th local time, Trump exercised his first veto power during his presidency.

As early as February 15, Trump raised funds to build a wall on the US-Mexico border and announced a "state of emergency" on the southern border of the United States, planning to bypass Congress and raise more funds. This matter caused a huge controversy.

On the 14th of this month, the US Senate and the House of Representatives passed a resolution to stop the "national state of emergency." According to CNN News on the 15th, Trump believes that the US Congress’ decision to stop his state’s state of emergency is “reckless” and “dangerous”, so on the 15th, he exercised his president’s veto for the first time. (VETO), and once again stressed that the situation on the southern border of the United States poses a threat to the security of Americans. Trump said: "The decision of the House and Senate to stop the resolution of the national emergency will stop countless Americans from being in danger."

Trump announced the decision at the White House on the same day as the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the family members killed by illegal immigrants. "Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution, and I have the right to veto this resolution," Trump said in the oval office. This is the first time Trump has used his presidential veto in his two years in power.

US Vice President Mike Burns, Attorney General William Barr and Homeland Security Minister Nelson accompanied Trump. Attorney General William Barr called the president’s urgent order "obviously legally authorized" and "has a solid legal basis."

The US Congress is expected to reconsider the resolution after a week of recession. It is reported that after Trump exercises the veto power, both the Senate and the House of Representatives must re-pass the resolution by at least two-thirds of the votes to dismiss the president's veto. However, the probability of this happening is not large.
