June 16 (UPI) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would send the agreement to end the war with Iran to Congress for approval.
Trump was meeting with United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Évian-les-Bains, France, at the G7 Summit and was asked by a reporter if he would send the agreement to Congress.
“I wouldn’t mind,” The Hill reported Trump said. “I mean, you know, the Democrats — we call them Dumocrats because they’re dumb people. The Democrats are … well, what I’d like to do is send it to Congress, saying you shouldn’t approve it, and I’ll get it approved, whatever they, whatever I say, they want to do the opposite. It’s not working too well for them, by the way.”
“But yeah, I never thought about sending, never even thought about it, but I will. I will send it to Congress,” he said. “I like the idea.”
Trump and Vice President JD Vance signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Sunday, but it hasn’t been released to the public.
Administration officials told reporters Monday that no money would be released to Iran unless it first made commitments.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he was “pleased” about a plan to potentially open the Strait of Hormuz.
“I am somewhat concerned that Iran’s view of the agreement seems different than what the American negotiating team is claiming,” Graham wrote in a post on X Sunday. “Under our law, any nuclear deal with Iran will be sent to Congress for review and a vote. I look forward to reviewing the final product, and I believe it is imperative that the architect of the deal, Vice President Vance and his negotiating partners, be part of the process in presenting the final deal to Congress.”
When Trump was asked Tuesday about Graham’s comments, he said, “I have to talk to Lindsey. He will be in big trouble.” CNBC reported.
Vance appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box Monday and said the two major provisions are reopening the strait and a commitment from Iran not to develop nuclear weapons.
“There are a lot of very important details to figure out that we’re actually going to sit at the table and discuss together and figure out a path forward on these details,” Vance said.
