In response, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) issued the following statement: “President Trump is increasingly deranged in his one-man campaign to threaten and initiate wars all over the globe. His wars are illegal since they are not approved by Congress, but he keeps on despite the massive toll on our troops, their families, the pocketbooks of everyday Americans, our stock of munitions and our alliances around the globe. His threat to waste even more of our dwindling weapons on Oman—a country the United States has a strong diplomatic relationship and a free trade agreement with—makes real adversaries like China and Russia rub their hands with glee. I will file a War Powers Resolution prohibiting military action against Oman as soon as we return from August recess and hope to find some Republican colleagues to join with Democrats and check this blindly stumbling power-drunk President from inflicting more damage on the U.S. and the world.” ### | 1 | 2026-08-18T05:27:41Z | 2026-08-18T05:29:06Z |
