Trump Calls Congressional War Powers Vote 'Unpatriotic'

U.S. President Donald Trump criticized a congressional measure restricting his war powers, calling the decision an "unpatriotic" action in a post on his Truth Social platform. The Senate voted Thursday evening to limit presidential authority to wage war against Iran, with four Republicans joining all Democrats in supporting the measure. The rare bipartisan vote reflects growing congressional pushback against executive war-making authority. Trump said the vote occurred during ongoing negotiations to end the war with Iran, arguing the timing undermines critical diplomatic efforts. He accused Democrats of acting out of "Trump hatred" and contended they prefer American failure over giving him a new victory. No further details about the negotiations or the vote margin were immediately available.
