U.S. president links FISA approval to proposed 'Save America Act' and lists domestic priorities
Summary
During the press exchange in India, Mr. President said he would not sign FISA unless it were paired with a "Save America Act," listing priorities such as voter ID and limits on transgender participation in children's sports.
While answering questions at the press event, Mr. President addressed domestic U.S. legislative priorities, saying he would not sign FISA unless it included provisions from what he called the "Save America Act." He listed priorities he wanted included: voter identification, proof of citizenship, limits on mail-in ballots with specified exceptions, and restrictions on transgender medical procedures for children.
Mr. President framed these as five items "that's all we want," and tied their approval to his willingness to sign FISA legislation. He described the domestic approach as a condition for his approval of certain legislative actions, while not providing legislative text or timelines during the session.
Reporters asked follow-up questions about timing and whether a signing would occur soon; Mr. President said deals can be unpredictable but expressed belief that the other side "wants to sign." The press exchange did not include lawmakers or legislative text and no votes or formal congressional actions were reported in the session.
