U.S. President Donald Trump holds a chart on global coronavirus disease (COVID-19) data as he reacts to a journalist during a meeting with Iowa Governor Kimberly Reynolds in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, U.S.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday vetoed legislation passed by both houses of Congress to limit a president’s ability to wage war against Iran, as Trump wages a campaign of maximum pressure against the Islamic Republic.

“This was a very insulting resolution, introduced by Democrats as part of a strategy to win an election on November 3 by dividing the Republican Party,” Trump said in a statement released by the White House. “The few Republicans who voted for it played right into their hands,” he said.
