GOP Lawmakers Break With Trump Over $250 Million Fund and Iran War
3 articles · Updated · NPR · Jun 4
Summary
Congressional Republicans this week openly showed frustration with President Trump, exposing a widening split over his proposed anti-weaponization fund and the war with Iran.
The dispute first surfaced around Trump's anti-weaponization fund, where some GOP lawmakers balked at the proposal and signaled resistance inside Congress.
That tension then spread to Iran policy, with the war becoming a second flashpoint that put Republican unease with Trump on public display.
The back-to-back clashes suggest Trump's grip on congressional Republicans is facing new strain as funding and foreign policy fights converge.
