U.S. President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to veto a 733 billion U.S.-dollar defense bill being considered by the House of Representatives, saying it provides less money than he wants for the military, while disagreeing with some of its policy provisions. 

The current version of the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, up for a vote in the Democratic-led House, sets 733 billion U.S. dollars in military spending; 17 billion U.S. dollars less than Trump's fiscal year 2020 budget request. 

The Republican-led Senate last month passed its version of the measure, authorizing $750 billion for the Pentagon. Once the House passes its bill, the two chambers must come up with a compromise bill, which must pass both before being sent to the White House for Trump to sign into law or veto.

The House bill also seeks to stop Trump from bypassing congress and spend billions of dollars to build a wall and deploy troops to the U.S.-Mexico border through a national emergency declaration.

Trump's celebration of U.S. Independence Day, which included a parade of tanks and equipment to Washington, cost the military at least 1.2 million U.S. dollars, the Pentagon said Tuesday.  

In addition to the cost to the military, the Washington Post reported last week that the U.S. National Park Service had diverted 2.5 million U.S. dollars in park entrance fees to help pay for the event. 

The House is expected to vote on the NDAA later this week.
