US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his intention to veto the country’s new defense bill, claiming that China would benefit the most from the legislation.
On 11 December, the US Senate passed the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, which among other provisions includes sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project and Turkey over its purchase of S-400 missile defense systems from Russia.
Earlier this week, the US Senate passed a $740-billion National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA), which greenlights sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 project and Turkey over its acquisition of Russian S-400 missile defense systems.
