US President Donald Trump has criticized the Senate for passing a war powers resolution aimed at curbing military action against Iran, calling it 'poorly timed' and 'meaningless'. The resolution, which was approved by a 50-48 vote, is largely symbolic and does not have the full force of law.
Trump claimed that the vote would provide 'aid and comfort to the enemy', and that it would make his negotiating position more difficult. He also labelled the four Republican lawmakers who voted in favour of the resolution as 'losers'.
The US and Iran are currently negotiating the technical details of a final deal to end the war in West Asia, after signing a memorandum last week. The Senate vote reflects growing concerns among Republican lawmakers about the conflict.
