Lawmakers in Congress seek to cut the budget for the war with Iran Adam Smith, the Democratic representative of the state of Washington and the future chairman of the Armed Services Committee of the US House of Representatives, promised this Friday that after taking control of the House of Representatives and the Senate next year, the Democrats will work to stop the financing of Donald Trump's destructive war against Iran. "Just to be clear, do you mean that the Democrats will pass a bill in both houses of Congress next year that would stop funding the war with Iran by banning the allowances? Smith was asked by the New Republican in a podcast interview. "Certainly," replied Smith. I think this will be one of the first actions we take and one of the most important actions we have to put on the agenda."
