US Senate reverses course on president’s war powers
The US Senate has reversed its stance on a war powers resolution, blocking a measure that would have required President Donald Trump to withdraw US forces from hostilities with Iran until Congress authorizes the deployment. The resolution was originally advanced in May, but two Republican senators changed their positions after a closed-door lunch with Trump and White House intervention. The vote highlights the ongoing struggle between the administration and Congress over war powers and funding, with the administration seeking $70 billion to cover war expenses ahead of November elections.
