President Donald Trump slammed the U.S. Senate for passing a “poorly timed and meaningless” war powers resolution while his administration negotiates with Iranian officials. In a Truth Social post late Tuesday, Trump said the Senate vote undercut his administration’s efforts to pressure Tehran and complicated ongoing negotiations aimed at securing a broader agreement with the Islamic Republic.
“So, I have Iran on the ‘ropes,’ ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything, and for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the United States and its President, ME,” Trump wrote. He accused the Senate of sending the wrong message to what he called the “Number One Sponsor of Terror in the World” by approving the resolution. Trump also blasted the four Republican senators who joined Democrats in backing the measure, calling them “Republican Losers,” and said the vote had made his job more difficult. “But I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!” he added.
