How Democrats in Congress Can Reshape Trump's Foreign Policy

Democrats won control of both the US House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, positioning them to challenge President Donald Trump's foreign policy agenda, including his handling of the Iran war, Ukraine aid, and military spending. Democrats are expected to use their new congressional power to pressure Trump to seek authorization for the Iran war, potentially by cutting defense spending or holding up nominations. They also plan to prioritize new aid for Ukraine, which could pass with enough votes to override a presidential veto. The party may also move to limit or end military aid to Israel over its conduct in Gaza, restore foreign aid cuts, and increase scrutiny of Trump's policies in Latin America, including actions in Venezuela and Cuba.
