On Wednesday, President Trump signed a preliminary agreement in Versailles to end the war with Iran, triggering immediate condemnation from Washington lawmakers.

Prominent Republican hawks, usually allied with the President, are calling the move the worst foreign policy blunder in decades. Democratic leaders are also slamming the move, demanding immediate briefings and accusing the administration of bypassing congressional oversight to secure a hasty exit.
Lawmakers from both sides are now preparing for a high-stakes legislative battle as the framework moves toward a formal review process.
