Trump attacked the Republican senators who crossed party lines and voted to check his Iran war powers.In a late-night Truth Social post, Trump claimed he had "Iran on the 'ropes,' ready to go down for the fall, willing to give us practically anything, and for the first time in decades, respecting the hell out of the United States and its president."He then set his sights on "Four Republican Losers" who "voted with the Dumocrats." He was referring to GOP senators Rand Paul from Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, Susan Collins from Maine, and Bill Cassidy from Louisiana."These Senators have just made my job more difficult," Trump continued. "But I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done!"Paul, Murkowski, Collins, and Cassidy sided with Democratic senators on Tuesday in a 50-48 vote in favor of a resolution that tells Trump to end the war in Iran or seek congressional authorization to resume it. The New York Times described the resolution as "the most significant bipartisan rebuke yet of the conflict," even though it didn't carry the force of law."The U.S. Senate decides to have a poorly timed and meaningless War Powers Act Vote, telling the Number One Sponser of Terror in the World that the United States doesn't like what I am doing to them," Trump wrote. "And by so doing has provided aid and comfort [to] the Enemy."

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warned top executives that the United States was taking steps to respond to China's state-backed robotics industry, something viewed as a potential national security threat, Politico reported on Tuesday.During the closed-door meeting on Monday, he told the business leaders that the Trump administration was studying state-subsidized robotics imports, three people who attended the meeting told Politico. The move comes amid concerns that "subsidized Chinese robots could dominate global markets before U.S. manufacturers have the scale to compete."Dozens of executives from companies such as Boston Dynamics, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Siemens, SpaceX and Rockwell Automation were at the roundtable discussion, Politico reported. Some of the discussion included how the American industry could "reverse decades of manufacturing offshoring and rebuild the industrial base needed to build everything from semiconductors to robots."It's a sign of the escalating robotics import race between China and the United States."Lutnick’s comments reflect a growing view inside the Trump administration that robotics — not just AI chips — is becoming the next battleground in the technological competition," according to Politico. "We don’t want state-subsidized robotics attacking us in America; this is the arms [race] that is coming — robotic arms are coming," Lutnick said in the meeting, according to notes provided to Politico. "We need to make sure they’re produced in America so we’re going to study those right now."
