President Donald Trump has set an 8 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline for Iran to reach a deal. Congress is out of session until April 14, but calls are growing for lawmakers to return early. Some Democrats say the situation in the Middle East demands immediate action, while Republicans are defending the administration’s posture toward Iran. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) said, “China is the biggest purchaser of Iranian petroleum … taking action against their energy facilities … will cripple the regime.” Senate Democrats, including Tim Kaine and Elizabeth Warren, are calling for Congress to return to session immediately. -- 📺 Watch NTD News 24/7 on cable, broadcast, and streaming: https://www.ntd.com/watch -- 🧶More NTD Programs: https://www.ntd.com/programs?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=SocialM -- 🇺🇸 Stay updated with breaking news, special reports, and LIVE COVERAGE on NTD: https://ept.ms/NTDlive_ -- 🔵Sign up for our newsletter to stay informed with NTD News. 👉https://www.ntd.com/newsletter.htm?utm_source=YouTube.
