The US Senate on Monday failed to override President Donald Trump's vetoes of resolutions blocking his arms deal with Saudi Arabia, The Hill reported.

Senators voted 45-40 on the first of three veto override attempts, falling well short of the two-thirds majority needed to nix Trump’s veto. GOP Sens. Susan Collins (ME), Mike Lee (UT), Jerry Moran (KS), Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Todd Young (IN) voted with Democrats to override.
