Top Democrats demand Rubio brief U.S. Congress on Iran peace deal
Top Democratic lawmakers have demanded that Secretary of State Marco Rubio brief the U.S. Congress on the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Iran to end the over three-month war.
In a letter addressed to Mr. Rubio on Wednesday (June 17), Congressmen Gregory Meeks, Jim Himes and Adam Smith, the ranking members of the House committees on Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence and Armed Services, respectively, sought an “immediate” briefing to Congress upon his return to Washington.
Mr. Rubio is accompanying President Donald Trump on his visit to France for the G7 Summit and related engagements.
“While we welcome the Administration’s turn toward diplomacy and its decision to end this war of choice, the Administration must provide Congress with greater details about the MoU, any side agreements, and the Administration’s plan and strategy for the 60-day ceasefire period,” the Congressmen said in the letter.
