"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it in terms of if the administration makes a request to Congress to consider additional funding. But at this particular point in time, the administration has failed to make its case as to the rationale or justification for this war of choice in the Middle East."
"Listen, candidate Trump promised that he was not going to get the country into an endless war, particularly in the Middle East. President Trump has now done the exact opposite and absent him actually providing us with a compelling rationale, he's gonna have a difficult case to make on Capitol Hill."
"the American people don't want to see billions of dollars being spent to bomb Iran in the Middle East."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries faces criticism for not ruling out support for a potential Trump administration request for tens of billions in additional military funding for the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. In an NBC interview, Jeffries acknowledged American opposition to spending billions bombing Iran and criticized Trump for breaking his campaign promise to avoid endless Middle East wars. However, he declined to commit to blocking additional war funding, stating the administration must first provide clear rationale and justification. Jeffries emphasized the administration has failed to make its case for what he termed a "war of choice," but stopped short of pledging to oppose any funding request Congress receives.
