President Donald Trump's interim deal to end the Iran war has faced scorching public criticism from members of his own party. The backlash occurred as copies of the signed agreement circulated on Capitol Hill on Thursday, June 18.
Members of the GOP have lined up to condemn the deal, which pledges to scrap sanctions and help fund Iran. Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy described the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding as the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
Adding to the controversy, congressional aides stated that there had been no briefings for Congress on the deal by June 18.
