Trump torches GOP rebels after they join Democrats in bid to curb executive war powers

President Trump has blasted four House Republicans after they broke with the party and backed a resolution to limit his authority over the Iran conflict. The President branded the vote “unpatriotic” and accused the GOP defectors of grandstanding while sensitive negotiations remain underway. In a 215-208 vote, the House measure passed with support from every Democrat and four Republicans. Trump argued the resolution undermines his administration’s efforts to secure a lasting peace deal with Iran and protect American interests abroad. The White House has maintained that limiting the President’s war powers would weaken America’s negotiating position at a critical moment.
