An effort to extend parts of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) stalled in the U.S. Congress, after President Donald Trump promised to veto it and Republicans withdrew their support. The House of Representatives` Democratic leaders said late on Wednesday a vote on renewing three government surveillance rules that expired in March would not take place as expected. There was no word on when a vote might be rescheduled.
