The U.S President Donald Trump has signed the 1st veto of his presidency. Trump signed the veto after the Senate‘s decision to vote 59-41 in favor of a resolution expressing disapproval at his national emergency declaration over the illegal immigration crisis at the southern U.S border. 12 Republicans voted against his invocation of emergency powers in a major embarrassment for the president to get his signature U.S-Mexico border wall built. It brought the resolution to his desk and forcing him to exercise his powers of office to block it.

Trump then claimed that there was an invasion at the U.S border and vetoed the resolution. The emergency declaration of the president still faces numerous legal challenges in spite of the veto with cases arguing it was unconstitutional. The American Civil Liberties Union also filed one of the cases, said the veto was meaningless. The executive director Anthony Romero said, “U.S Congress has rejected the president’s declaration and now the courts will be the ultimate arbiter of its legality. We look forward to seeing him in court and to the shellacking that he will receive at the hands of an independent judiciary”. Moreover, top U.S officials from Donald Trump’s administration failed to describe the terrorist attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, as acts of terror.

It was also asked from Trump during the Oval Office address whether he saw an increase in white nationalism. Trump said: “I don’t really. I think it’s a small group of people”. He also added he hadn’t seen a manifesto in which the suspected gunman denounced immigrants and praised Trump as a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose. More than 49 people were killed and dozens more seriously injured after shootings at 2 mosques in Christchurch. The suspected attacker, Brenton Tarrant live-streamed the attack and outlined his anti-immigrant motives in a manifesto posted online.
