American strikes arouse support but also criticism in the American political class
The Republican Leaders of the Congress rather welcomed Donald Trump’s decision to strike the Iranian nuclear sites. The president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson – who was informed by the White House before the strikes – said in a statement: “President Trump was consistent and clear that Iran with nuclear weapons will not be tolerated (…). This position is now applied with strength, precision and clarity. »»
The head of the majority of the American Senate, John Thune, said that it was necessary to put an end to the “Malavial quest for nuclear weapons” Iranian regime. “It was the right decision. The regime [iranien] the merit “wrote online, for his part, Lindsey Graham, Senator of South Carolina.
Democratic elected officials and certain far -right Republicans have nevertheless questioned this decision, in particular because it was not authorized by the US Congress.
“President Trump induced the country in mistake on his intentions, he did not seek to obtain the authorization of the Congress for the use of military force and risks engaging the Americans in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East,” said Hakeem Jeffries, leader of Democrats in the House of Representatives, in a statement.
“I will put pressure for all senators to vote for or against this third silly war in the Middle East”said the Democratic Senator of Virginie Tim Kaine.
“Although President Trump’s decision can be right, it is difficult to design a reasoning that is constitutional”for his part, judged the conservative representative of Ohio Warren Davidson.
