Trump's 60-day war authority nears expiration

US media reports indicate the 60-day deadline set by President Donald Trump for waging war with Iran without congressional approval will expire in less than 10 days. Trump is legally obligated to begin the process of withdrawing US troops from the region starting May 1, and the current temporary ceasefire does not revise or extend this deadline. The report suggests high political stakes, with Republicans potentially losing influence in the Senate depending on the outcome.
