Democratic Congress could curb Iran war but not tariffs, ex-ambassador says
Original: A Democratic Congress could curb the Iran war but not Trump's tariffs, former ambassador says
A former US ambassador argues that if Democrats win control of Congress, they could legislate to limit or end American military involvement against Iran, but have far fewer tools to block President Trump's tariffs. Congressional power over war funding and authorizations differs from its narrower leverage over trade policy, which rests largely on executive authority the courts and lawmakers have been reluctant to strip away.
Why now: Ongoing US-Iran conflict and tariff disputes are keeping debate over Congress's checks on Trump in the spotlight.
