U.S. President Donald Trump said ​on Sunday he opposes any renewal ‌of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that does not include his Save America ​Act, which would require proof ​of citizenship for voting.

The U.S. Congress ⁠on Thursday rejected a short-term extension ​of the foreign surveillance powers amid ​a standoff over Trump’s selection of an inexperienced loyalist, Bill Pulte, to serve as ​the acting director of national intelligence, ​although some lawmakers also oppose an extension ‌of ⁠FISA under any circumstances.

“What kind of a deal is that,” Trump posted Sunday on Truth Social. “Besides, I’m against ​FISA if ​it ⁠doesn’t come with The Save America Act (Full version!) firmly ​attached to it.”
