WASHINGTON, Ramadan 18, 1437, June 23, 2016, SPA -- The White House Thursday promised that President Barack Obama would veto the long-delayed response of the Republican-controlled Congress to the president's request for fighting the Zika virus, saying it provided too little money and contained too many partisan provisions, according to AP. The $1.1 billion measure had already appeared sure to die in the Senate next at the hands of filibustering Democrats backing Obama's $1.9 billion request and opposing spending cuts that House Republicans added to the measure. White House spokesman Eric Schultz says if the measure does pass the Senate, Obama will veto it. --SPA 01:17 LOCAL TIME 22:17 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
