President Trump is facing a 60-day deadline in the U.S. war with Iran, as support for the war is waning among lawmakers and he continues to maintain a blockade that is holding up negotiations. The deadline, set by the War Powers Act, is 60 days since Trump informed lawmakers of the hostilities. This could complicate matters for Democrats and some Republicans who have voiced concerns about the conflict extending beyond 60 days without congressional approval. The White House has been in discussions with Congress regarding the deadline, but warned against using it to score political points and undermine the US military abroad. There are also questions about how long the conflict with Iran will continue, with Trump actively seeking to prolong it.
