Democratic lawmakers are set to introduce resolutions aimed at curbing President Donald Trump's war powers, following his threat to "bomb the shit out of Oman." Congressman Ro Khanna suggested that the U.S. might need to file war powers resolutions for 192 other countries. Tim Kaine, a U.S. lawmaker, announced his intention to introduce a resolution regarding Oman's war powers in the upcoming session.

Kaine emphasized Washington's strong diplomatic ties with Muscat and expressed concern that Trump's threats could benefit adversaries like Russia and China. He urged Republican colleagues to join Democrats in preventing the president from causing further damage to the U.S. and the world. Kaine also stated that the resolution seeks to prevent Trump from dragging the nation into another war.
