Luján Statement on President Trump’s Announcement on Iran War

Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement on President Trump’s announcement on the Iran War:
“President Trump didn’t have a plan going into this war, and there’s still no credible plan to end it now. The American people did not ask for this conflict, Congress did not authorize it, and this administration has never laid out a clear strategy.
“President Trump dragged our nation into a war that has already cost American lives and put our troops in harm’s way. Now, he is saying the war is ‘nearing completion’ after accomplishing nothing and without taking responsibility for the consequences.
“The war has weakened our alliances, emboldened our adversaries, and driven up costs for families here at home. The American people deserve the truth from the Trump administration.
“My prayers remain with the American service members we have lost, their families, and all those currently serving.”
