Trump tells U.S. Congress that ceasefire 'terminated' Iran conflict, as war powers deadline arrives

President Trump declared that a ceasefire had ‘terminated’ hostilities against Iran, as the 60-day deadline for congressional authorization of the conflict approaches on May 1. He argued that the War Powers Resolution is unconstitutional and that Iran remains a ‘significant’ threat to the United States. Republican lawmakers are standing by Trump’s decision, blocking efforts to end the war.
