WASHINGTON—White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany confirmed on Dec. 2 that President Donald Trump is serious about vetoing the National Defense Authorization Act if it doesn’t include a repeal of Section 230 protections for social media giants.

“Yes, the president is serious about it,” McEnany said when asked during a press briefing. A veto would block the $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill, and if it’s not signed by Dec. 11, a stopgap measure is likely, but a government shutdown is also possible.
