MOSCOW, June 5. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump risks losing control of his party amid differences over the Iran war, and NATO begins its BALTOPS 2026 naval exercise in the Baltic Sea. Meanwhile, Poland is pushing for a permanent US military base. These stories topped Friday's headlines in Russia.
Media: Trump and his GOP clash over Iran war
The House of Representatives voted against US President Donald Trump’s continued war in Iran. The resolution was passed only because some in the president’s Republican party supported it. The same might happen at the Senate vote as Trump is facing an open rebellion from part of GOP members. While it is too early to predict that the Republicans will soon turn away from their president, rather American society is increasingly dissatisfied with the Iran war and Trump’s policies which his party members cannot but ignore with six months until the congressional midterms.
As many as 215 Congressmen, including four Republicans, voted for the resolution, a fourth such document endorsed at the House, with 208 votes against. Trump hit back at legislators who voted to rebuke him in the midst of the Iran war, calling them "unpatriotic" on his Truth Social platform.
