WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Sunday Agenda on Newsmax to discuss the swift and successful action taken by President Trump to protect the United States, and the world, from a nuclear Iran, and the debate centered around Congressional approval under the War Powers Act.


Watch the full interview here.

President Trump did not need Congressional approval for this strike:

"What we know is that the President did notify House leadership, Senate leadership about what was going to occur... What the White House knows and what every member of Congress knows is that members of Congress they leak all the time... This is information that was critical, it was sensitive. And actually, in my opinion, informing all members of Congress would have put our service members in harms way. If you want to talk about war powers or resolutions, that is if we are actually gonna extend ourselves into a longstanding conflict with the Iranian regime. That is not the viewpoint of the administration. The administration has been very clear on this. The nuclear program, the nuclear strikes in particular, were of grave national security interests."

The world is safer now than it was yesterday:

“The Iranian regime is a terrorist regime. They cannot have nuclear weapons. President Trump has tried to negotiate with them. Steve Witkoff and his team have tried to negotiate with them. And they did what they have been doing to American presidents for almost four decades now... Enough is enough, Donald Trump wants to make sure we have peace in the region, and you cannot negotiate peace with a. regime that has nuclear payloads, it's that simple... But I will tell you today, in my opinion, the world is safer now than it was yesterday."
