US Secretary Of War Defends Project Liberty
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended his department's conduct of the war during a congressional hearing. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Senator Tim Kaine that the 60-day timeline required by the War Powers Resolution of 1973 is currently on hold. The 1973 resolution requires a president to obtain Congressional authorization within 60 days of starting hostilities or withdraw troops. Defense Secretary Hexat argued during a Pentagon budget session that the war in Ukraine could continue without formal Congressional approval. He stated that the military operation period granted by the US Constitution has expired. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal criticized the administration, stating the American people do not believe the war is a success. Critics highlighted the conflict's cost exceeding $25 billion and its impact on US gasoline prices.
