Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Tuesday called on Senate Republicans to advance a war powers resolution aimed at ending U.S. involvement in the conflict.
"The only sure way to protect our troops is to end this war as soon as possible, something Donald Trump is clearly incapable of doing," Schumer said. "Senate Republicans need to step up, advance our war powers resolution to end the war, and bring our troops home."
Schumer's remarks came after two American helicopter pilots were rescued after Iran reportedly shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.
"I'm sure I speak for everyone in the Senate and in the country when I say I'm relieved that the two American helicopter pilots shot down over the Strait of Hormuz earlier today have been safely rescued," Schumer said. "The U.S. Helicopter that went down over the strait is a stark reminder that every second Trump's disastrous war continues is another second that our troops remain in harm's way."
