Congress rejects trimming Trump's Lebanon military powers
The U.S. House of Representatives rejected a bill aimed at limiting President Donald Trump's authority to involve American forces in military operations within Lebanon without congressional approval, with 189 votes in favor and 235 against. The amended version would have required the withdrawal of forces within seven days, while maintaining cooperation with the Lebanese army. This happened amid escalating tensions along Lebanon's southern border between Israel and Hezbollah, which demands Israel's withdrawal from the area.
