Despite the coronavirus pandemic putting a halt to many aspects of life in many countries in the world, the tensions between the United States and Iran appear to remain. Recently, President Donald Trump vetoed the resolution of seeking approval from Congress before he takes any action against Iran.
Time reports that Trump vetoed on the measure of having to seek the approval of Congress before taking any actions against Iran. Trump reportedly felt that it was insulting to the presidency. In a statement, Trump said, “That is incorrect. We live in a hostile world of evolving threats and the Constitution recognizes that the president must be able to anticipate our adversaries’ next moves and take swift and decisive action in response. That’s what I did!”
It should be noted that this resolution was introduced to the House following the U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian general. This was also introduced following the concerns that came up in Congress regarding the tensions between Tehran and Washington, as the two nations are on the verge of an all-out conflict. Thus, several lawmakers were keen on restraining the actions that Trump would potentially make against the Muslim nation.
It should also be noted that the Constitution also gives Congress the authority to declare war. Despite this, Trump said that the resolution appeared to suggest that his own constitutional authority to use military force was only to the extent of defending the United States and its forces against a potential attack.
Meanwhile, Trump’s longtime promise to his supporters of building a wall on the border between the United States and Mexico is underway. A new report reveals that the President has requested that the wall be painted black so as to make it look more imposing and too hot to touch during the hot summer season.
According to administration officials, Trump has already asked his senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to assess the potential costs for painting the wall. It would likely range between $500 million for acrylic paint and over $3 billion for the powder coating. Trump has since boasted about having already built parts of the wall. “We have just completed 172 miles of wall. And it’s real wall, not the kind you were having built over the years that were sort of scoffed at, right?” said Trump during a roundtable in his visit to Phoenix, Arizona.
