President Donald Trump faced heated criticism from within his own party on Wednesday over the Iran war, as a closed-door Senate Republican meeting reportedly turned tense shortly before his administration asked Congress for tens of billions of dollars to pay for the conflict.
Cassidy Presses Trump Over Iran Deal Several Republicans said Trump got into a shouting match with Sen.
Bill Cassidy (R-La.), who questioned a framework deal Trump signed last week that offers financial incentives to Iran but has not delivered the goals Trump outlined when the war began, Reuters reported.
"The American people need to know more than we are being told," Cassidy told reporters.
"It does not appear, although I don't know for sure, that the course of this is going the way that we were told." The confrontation came one day after the Senate voted to direct Trump to end the war in a symbolic rebuke.
