New York, N.Y. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after President Trump said the ceasefire with Iran is over:
"Trump's so-called 'deal' to end hostilities with Iran has turned into total, utter disaster.
"This is what happens when an incompetent president launches a war with no objective, no plan, and no exit strategy - you lose.
"The American people are paying the price for Trump's total failure in Iran. Our troops are back in harm's way and high gas costs are continuing to punish working families.
"Enough. This war was illegal, ill-advised, and irresponsible from the start. The Trump administration must double down on serious negotiations, come to Congress, comply with the majorities in both chambers who voted to end this war, and deliver the relief American families desperately need."
