Kaine to introduce Senate war powers resolution after Trump threatens Oman
“His threat to waste even more of our dwindling weapons on Oman—a country the United States has a strong diplomatic relationship and a free trade agreement with—makes real adversaries like China and Russia rub their hands with glee,” the Virginia senator stated.
Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) announced on Monday his intention to introduce a resolution under the War Powers Act to prevent President Donald Trump from acting on his threat to "bomb the s**t out of Oman." Trump made the threat during a Fox News interview, citing Oman's role in U.S. negotiations with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Kaine stated that Trump's threat against Oman, a country with strong diplomatic ties and a free trade agreement with the U.S., would benefit adversaries like China and Russia. He hopes to gain bipartisan support for the resolution, which he plans to introduce when Congress reconvenes in mid-September. This effort follows previous attempts by Kaine to curb Trump's war powers, though such resolutions would likely face a presidential veto.
