Not depriving but increasing pressure

Ngạc Ngư |

The US House of Representatives' resolution requiring President Donald Trump to end the conflict with Iran does not have the legal effect to force him to act. However, this move still creates significant political pressure on Mr. Trump, while putting House Speaker Mike Johnson - who is considered a close ally of the President in Congress - in a difficult position.

The Republican Party holds a majority in the House of Representatives, but 4 deputies belonging to this faction in the House of Representatives "turned the tide" and helped the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives pass this resolution with 215 votes in favor and 208 votes against.

Previously, Mr. Johnson had 3 times prevented the Democratic Party from taking a vote in the House on this resolution. Mr. Trump also spent a lot of time and effort persuading the Republican representatives in the House to reject the resolution.

This resolution, although not binding Mr. Trump in continuing the conflict with Iran, significantly increases political pressure in terms of quickly having an appropriate feasible strategy to lead the United States out of the conflict.

The above resolution passed by the House of Representatives is primarily the result of the socio-political impact of 2 main drivers. The first is that Mr. Trump launched a conflict with Iran but after more than 100 days, it is still unknown how to get the US out of this conflict. The Democratic Party opposing Mr. Trump is not strange and the more difficult Mr. Trump is in domestic and foreign affairs as well as the more strategic deadlock in the conflict with Iran, the easier it is for this faction to win the election in the upcoming midterm US Congressional election.

Second, the majority of voters in the US do not agree with Mr. Trump conducting a conflict with Iran when they are directly affected and primarily by the consequences of this conflict and by Mr. Trump's trade-protective tariff war with US economic and trade partners around the world, especially because of rising energy prices and high inflation.

More and more politicians and congressmen in the US are aware that it is time to act before it is too late if they want to preserve or build their own political future in the upcoming congressional and presidential elections in the United States.

Mr. Trump is not deprived of the right to conduct conflicts with Iran by the above resolution, but the US Congress has shown that the power of the president needs to be placed within the framework of supervision and control of democratic institutions. The Republican Party clearly shows internal rifts in the US conflict with Iran.

The above resolution forces Mr. Trump to quickly make policy adjustments and ways of ruling, consolidate internal affairs, and strive to reach some agreement with Iran.

It is also possible that Mr. Trump will take new actions to prevent Congress, politicians, society and American voters from paying too much attention to the US situation in the conflict with Iran along with all the impacts of the conflict on the United States and especially on the people in the United States.
