Booker Statement on Joint Resolutions of Dissaproval

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement:

"With no congressional approval or strategy for success, Trump has led America into a reckless, dangerous quagmire in Iran that continues to spiral out of control. I am using every tool available to me to stop this war, and do not support more weapons to continue the combat, whether it is to our own government or to one of our closest allies. I will always support America having the globe's preeminent military and defense capabilities, and I will always steadfastly support Israel's defense and deterrence capabilities. I will not, however, support Trump's war, and I will continue to take every action to bring it to a swift conclusion. Republicans in the Senate should join us this week to fulfill the role of the Senate, check this out-of-control president, and pass a war powers resolution to stop this war now."
