Trump Slams House Resolution for Middle East Troop Withdrawal as 'Unpatriotic'

President Donald Trump has strongly condemned a House resolution demanding the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East, calling it "unpatriotic" and detrimental to ongoing negotiations with Iran. The resolution, passed by the House of Representatives, seeks to end U.S. involvement in hostilities against Iran.

"Who would do something so unpatriotic? They know very well where the talks are," Trump wrote on Truth Social, criticizing the move for weakening America's position in diplomatic efforts with Tehran.

The resolution, which passed with the support of four Republican lawmakers, is largely symbolic as the White House retains veto power. Trump accused Democrats of prioritizing national failure over his administration's successes and sharply criticized the Republicans who voted in favor of the measure.

While U.S. law allows the president to order military action in cases of immediate threat, congressional approval is required within 60 days. Trump's administration had previously bypassed this deadline, asserting that a conflict initiated in February had effectively ended due to a ceasefire. Democrats dispute this, pointing to the continued presence of U.S. forces in the region, particularly enforcing a naval blockade on Iranian ports.
