With Trump in a holding pattern on Iran war, allies and critics worry he risks getting boxed in
Read Original Source
President Donald Trump said Wednesday negotiations with Iran are progressing “very well” and a deal could happen “over the weekend,” downplaying recent U.S. and Iranian strikes that have raised questions about the durability of a fragile ceasefire. The House for the first time Wednesday approved a war powers resolution that would halt the U.S. military action against Iran, defying President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long conflict.
