House Republicans defied Trump on Iran on Wednesday and Ukraine on Thursday
In any single week of the Trump second term, either vote would have been remarkable. In the same week, they define a moment.On Wednesday, the House voted 215-208 to invoke the War Powers Act and order Trump to end US military action against Iran within 30 days.
Six Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday to push through a vote on military aid for Ukraine, a blow to President Trump’s handling of Russia’s war against the country and his withdrawal of U.S. support for Kyiv.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signalled readiness for a peace agreement with Ukraine under a framework discussed with Donald Trump, provided Kyiv accepts certain compromises. Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for direct talks and a face-to-face meeting with Putin.
