Biden signs defence bill into law to boost military spending to $895 bn
The New Indian Express Villupuram
|December 25, 2024

Biden said his administration strongly opposes the provision because it targets a group based on gender identity and "interferes with parents' roles to determine the best care for their children." He said it also undermines the all-volunteer military's ability to recruit and retain talent.
