Trump says he’ll send Iran deal to Congress for approval
The agreement would extend a ceasefire by 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but lawmakers say they still have not seen the text.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he would submit an interim memorandum of understanding with Iran to Congress for review, though lawmakers remain largely in the dark about the pact's undisclosed text.
- Announced on Sunday, the memorandum of understanding would extend an April ceasefire by 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a shipping route blocked since February 28.
- Senator John Thune of South Dakota told reporters Tuesday that members are pressing for the text, stating, "Since I've been in this job, we haven't had this issue," while Chuck Schumer demanded classified briefings for the "Gang of Eight."
- The 2015 Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act mandates that Congress review international agreements before sanctions are eased, preserving the Constitution's war-declaration power and enabling lawmakers to potentially block parts of the deal.
- Trump told Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, he intends to wait until after a formal signing ceremony expected on Friday to finalize the submission process.
