US President Donald Trump clashed with members of the Senate on Wednesday after Congress had passed a largely symbolic resolution urging him to bring the conflict with Iran to an end.
Trump canceled what was supposed to be a signing ceremony celebrating new housing legislation aiming to please voters in the run-up to November's mid term elections. He said he would not sign the bill, which Republicans had hailed in both houses of Congress, until they passed his voting reform package he calls the "Save America Act."
"Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
The act includes plans to proof of citizenship to register to vote, and photo ID when voting. Democrats criticize it as an assault on voting rights, Trump argues it's necessary to safeguard elections.
