House Republicans cancel vote on war powers resolution to end US war in Iran

Cancellation, which avoids embarrassment for Trump, is latest signal of diminishing congressional support for war

House Republicans canceled a scheduled vote Thursday on a war powers resolution aimed at ending the US war with Iran, a measure that likely would have advanced had the vote been held.

The cancellation, which avoided political embarrassment for Donald Trump, is the latest signal that congressional support for the US president’s war is diminishing.
