National Defense Authorization Act (Executive Session)
The Senate took up the National Defense Authorization Act during an executive session. Democrats opposed proceeding: Van Hollen said the bill costs too much and requires weapons production and intelligence sharing with Israel, citing an example of Israel using its veto under a coproduction agreement to block U.S. Iron Dome batteries from going to Ukraine, and asked that amendments be debated and voted on first. Welch also opposed the bill, saying it ignores the war in Iran, mandates intelligence sharing and weapons coproduction with Israel rather than leaving decisions to U.S. leaders, spends on older weapons systems instead of modern technology like drones, and adds to the debt without a plan to pay for it.Written by AI from the debate.
