India, March 10 -- US President Donald Trump has escalated pressure on Congress by demanding the passage of the Save America Act by urging a revival of the old filibuster rules.

The Save America Act is a controversial elections bill aimed at tightening voter identification rules and proof-of-citizenship requirements in federal elections.

Trump has said he would refuse to sign other legislation until Congress passes the measure, describing it as essential for protecting election integrity.
