As his administration braced for possible retaliation from Iran, President Trump also called on congressional Democrats to wrap up their impeachment push against him.
USA TODAYWASHINGTON – President Donald Trump returned to work at the White House on Monday with protests against the two major issues pressing him and his administration: Iran and impeachment.
"Congress & the President should not be wasting their time and energy on a continuation of the totally partisan Impeachment Hoax when we have so many important matters pending," Trump tweeted. As he returned to Washington from Florida, Trump increased anxieties by threatening to attack Iran again if it retaliated, and adding that his team has already picked out 52 specific targets – including cultural sites, which critics said would amount to war crimes.
Signed during the President Barack Obama administration, the U.S. and allies had agreed to reduce sanctions on Iran as it gave up the means to make nuclear weapons. In his comments aboard Air Force One, Trump threatened to impose deep sanctions if Iraq followed through, or unless its government paid the U.S. a substantial amount of money for the military base it built in the country.
