The United States House has once again passed a resolution calling for Trump to end the war on Iran

On 23 July, for the second time, the United States House of Representatives, supported by a minority of Republicans across party lines, passed a resolution in Iran ' s War Powers Act, calling for a cessation of the war against Iran. On that day, the result of the House roll-call vote was 214 in favour and 208 against. Four Republican deputies joined the Democrats in voting in favour of the resolution. In June this year, the House of Representatives adopted a similar resolution, at which the same four members of the House of Representatives voted in favour. This action is largely symbolic, but it also highlights the unpopularness of the Iranian war, as well as the growing concern of a minority of Republican parliamentarians — who may face strong opposition in the mid-term parliamentary elections just a few months later。

It was reported that the arrangement would be based on a 10b5-1 trading plan, which would set in advance the time and quantity of stock sales and would be implemented as planned.
