The US House of Representatives approved an initiative blocking the emergency declaration on the Trump wall

The US House of Representatives on Tuesday approved an initiative that prevents President Donald Trump 's emergency declaration from releasing funds for the construction of the wall.

After being approved by the House of Democratic Majority by 245 votes, including 13 Republicans, against 183, the proposal must be approved by the Senate, controlled by the Republicans.

However, thanks to the opposition of at least four Republican lawmakers to the president's plan, the upper house could also give the green light to the initiative.

In this case, Trump said that he would appeal the veto. It seems unlikely that Congress will have the two-thirds majority needed to cancel the veto, which could be the first of the president.

Because of the conflict, Republican lawmakers would have to choose between supporting Trump and defending congressional control over spending.

Trump badures that there is a crisis at the border and that he needs more than $ 1.4 billion allocated by Congress to build gates.. Democrats claim that there is no crisis and that Trump is trying to avoid Congressional controls.
