US EditionTrump issues first vetoes of his second term
Trump vetoed bipartisan bills funding a Colorado water pipeline aiding 50,000 residents and expanding Florida tribal lands, citing taxpayer cost concerns and political tensions.
- President Donald Trump this week issued his first vetoes of his second term, rejecting two bipartisan bills including H.R. 504 to add Osceola Camp to Miccosukee Tribe land and funding changes for the Arkansas Valley Conduit.
- Citing cost and policy concerns, President Donald Trump argued the Miccosukee Tribe obstructed immigration, the Osceola Camp could cost $14 million to fix, and the Arkansas Valley Conduit was `economically unviable`.
- Both measures aimed to add Osceola Camp to the Miccosukee Reserved Area with flood protections and complete the Arkansas Valley Conduit, serving 39 communities and finishing the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project.
- Politico reported the House of Representatives will vote Thursday on whether to override two vetoes, including H.R. 504, but the two-thirds majority requirement makes Senate passage uncertain.
- The Miccosukee Tribe responded that it sought environmental due diligence and will continue working with Congress, while Colorado Democrats and Sen. Michael Bennet called the veto politically motivated and Rep. Lauren Boebert vowed `This isn’t over.
