Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives abruptly canceled a vote on limiting President Donald Trump's military campaign against Iran. This was reported by Bloomberg, according to UNN.
Details
It is noted that the reason for this decision was the risk of the document being rejected due to the absence of Republicans in the session hall, which threatened a "shameful defeat for President Donald Trump."
This maneuver followed an inconclusive vote in the House of Representatives last week on a resolution to end U.S. military actions against Iran. Democrats insisted on a re-vote regarding the unpopular foreign conflict, as it causes growing economic damage to Americans,
In turn, Axios notes that the vote is largely symbolic because Trump can veto the bill.
Context
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that the United States is ready to continue attacks on Tehran if Iran does not agree to a peace deal, but suggested waiting a few days to "get the right answers."
