U.S. President Donald Trump faced pointed criticism over the Iran war in a closed-door meeting with fellow Republicans on Wednesday, shortly before his administration asked Congress for tens of billions ​of dollars to pay for the conflict.
Several Republicans who attended said Trump engaged in a shouting match with Senator Bill Cassidy, who said the administration needed to explain a framework deal Trump signed last ‌week that gives Iran financial incentives but falls short of the goals he laid out at the war's beginning.
