Event Summary

Republican leaders in the United States — United States House of Representatives unexpectedly canceled a vote on a resolution aimed at ending the Iran war, a measure that was widely expected to pass. This decision, which spared Donald Trump political embarrassment, highlights waning congressional support for the war that the United_States and Israel began striking Iran on February 28. Democrats and a growing number of Republicans have called for Donald Trump to seek congressional authorization for military force, citing the U.S. Constitution. The United States recently advanced a similar resolution, indicating a rare bipartisan rebuke of Donald Trump's war powers. The vote in the United States — United States House of Representatives has been postponed until early June, with many expecting it to pass then.
