President Trump’s recent meeting with Republican senators became tense when he challenged Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy over the War Powers Resolution. Cassidy stated he matched Trump’s tone, emphasising his duty to the American people. The discussions followed Senate votes related to military action against Iran and proposed legislative measures.
The Trump administration submitted a $87.6 billion supplemental funding request to Congress, addressing costs related to the Iran war, an Ebola outbreak in Central Africa, and support for American farmers. Most funding, approximately $67 billion, is earmarked for the Pentagon, with significant allocations for munitions and operational costs.
Chief Warrant Officer Rodney Bearman, injured in an Iranian drone strike on March 1, has been classified by the Army as “not seriously injured,” despite suffering severe shrapnel wounds, a concussion, and respiratory damage. Some injured soldiers claim their injuries are being downplayed, a statement the Army has strongly contested.
US correspondents Mark Stone and David Blevins addressed various topics, including the implications of Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs on American consumers.
Sir Keir Starmer has said his government stands ready to use industrial policy to “shelter British business from the storm” after Donald Trump’s new 10% tariff kicked in.
