The 973-page National Defense Authorisation Act, or NDAA, passed by an 86-8 vote.
Despite growing tensions with Iran, the amendment is not expected to get the 60 votes needed to pass the Republican-controlled Senate. The Senate version must be reconciled with a version expected to come up for a vote next month in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives. The Senate NDAA also includes an amendment to bar federal funds from going to Chinese state-owned companies such as CRRC, the world’s largest maker of passenger trains.
