Washington Sees Donald Trump Threaten ‘Mr. Veto’ Strategy, Preemptive Pardons If Democrats Win US Midterm Elections

US President Donald Trump said he would become ‘Mr. Veto’ if Democrats win control of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections, promising to block legislation and seek negotiations. He also signalled willingness to grant preemptive pardons to administration officials. The remarks come as reported polls show Democrats competitive in several Republican-held Senate races.
