According to The Hill, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy said on Sunday that President Donald Trump appears unlikely to bring the Iran war to a quick end, while urging him to work with Congress on a path toward peace. Cassidy said the country needs a broader public discussion about how to proceed and added that a rapid end to the conflict does not look likely, even though assurances are still being made that it can be achieved. Cassidy has been critical of Trump’s handling of the war, with particular focus on the impact on the cost of living. In May this year, after failing to hold on to his Senate seat, Cassidy became one of four Republican senators backing a war powers resolution that called on Trump to withdraw U.S. armed forces deployed inside Iran.
According to The Hill, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy said Sunday that President Donald Trump appears unlikely to end the Iran war in the near term, and suggested that Trump should turn to Congress to seek a path toward peace.
Cassidy said, “I do think we need a fuller national discussion about how we continue to move forward. If the president can quickly end this conflict — that seems unlikely, but they still seem to be assuring that this can be accomplished. Well, that’s okay too.”
The report said Cassidy has long criticized Trump’s handling of the war, especially over its effect on the cost of living. In May this year, after failing to keep his Senate seat, Cassidy became one of four Republican senators who supported advancing a war powers resolution requiring Trump to withdraw U.S. armed forces deployed inside Iran.
