Trump also insists that gasoline prices will come down and has insisted for weeks that he will reach a good \u200bdeal to end the conflict.<\/div><div>Lawmakers, including \u200bsome of Trump&#8217;s fellow Republicans, \u2060have asked for more information from the administration about its strategy, on Iran and other foreign policy priorities.<\/div><div>Last month, the U.S. Senate voted to advance a war powers resolution that would end the Iran \u200bconflict unless Trump obtains Congress&#8217; authorization. Days later, House leaders abruptly postponed a vote on a similar resolution \u200bwhen it looked \u2060likely to pass.<\/div><div>Members of Congress have said they want more information about Venezuela, after Trump sent U.S. forces to seize Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, given that Maduro&#8217;s number two has been serving as Venezuela&#8217;s acting president and there are no current plans for elections.<\/div><div>They also \u2060have questions \u200babout U.S. forces firing on boats off Venezuela&#8217;s coast since September, in a \u200bcampaign the administration says is intended to stop &#8220;narco-traffickers&#8221; that has killed more than 200 people.<\/div><div>There also have been questions about Trump&#8217;s plans for Communist-controlled Cuba, amid growing concerns about \u200ba possible U.S. military attack as his administration increases pressure on the island.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Patricia Zengerle\" class=\"wp-image-764\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/01a37831d0f3fb1e5cd1a8d2f7f3d1e5.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Patricia Zengerle<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=762\">A strong El Nino may be imminent.
