Trump tweets about his upcoming visit to India on February 25

<p>The US Senate has passed the Iran war powers resolution. The&nbsp;bill seeks to prevent <a href="https://www.wionews.com/.../US-President-Trump-to-visit-India-on-February -24-25-White-House">Donald Trump</a> from waging war with Iran.</p>

<p>During the session, 55 Senators supported the bill, while 45 opposed it. The Democrats are hailing it&nbsp;as a bipartisan victory.</p>

<p>Trump's Republican party holds a 53-seat majority in the Senate, however, during&nbsp;Thursday's vote eight&nbsp;Republicans joined the Democratic cause.</p>

<p>The result was a far cry from the partisan vote that acquitted Trump of his impeachment charges last week. Trump had warned Senators against passing the bill.</p>

<p>The US president had&nbsp;said the United States was doing well with Iran and that this was not a time to show "weakness".&nbsp;</p>

<p>The resolution requires Trump to remove troops deployed against Iran unless Congress declares war. It also defends American aggression in case of an imminent threat.</p>

<p>The bill will now go to the House of Representatives and then on to the President's desk wherein all likelihood it will be vetoed by President Trump.</p>
