Trump-Iran Inspection Dispute, Senate Rebukes War Powers & Housing Bill Breakthrough

In this episode of the White House Briefing Room, Jon Decker breaks down the growing dispute between the Trump administration and Iran over nuclear inspections following the latest round of negotiations in Switzerland. President Trump insists Iran agreed to unprecedented international inspections, while Iranian officials publicly deny any such commitment, raising fresh questions about the future of the agreement. Jon also examines a major rebuke from Congress as the Senate joins the House in passing a resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's authority to conduct military operations against Iran without congressional approval. While the measure is non-binding, it marks a significant bipartisan statement on war powers and executive authority. Plus, President Trump heads to Capitol Hill to pressure Senate Republicans on the Save America Act, a controversial election reform proposal facing long odds in the Senate. And in a rare display of bipartisanship, lawmakers overwhelmingly approve a major housing reform package designed to increase housing supply, reduce costs, and address affordability concerns nationwide.
