Kamlager-Dove Statement on US-Iran Ceasefire

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) released the following statement on the US-Iran ceasefire:

"In 12 hours Trump went from threatening to wipe out 90 million Iranians to capitulating to all of Iran’s demands.

That willingness to commit unspeakable atrocities is not a “negotiating tactic,” it demonstrates Trump’s severe mental instability.

While I am grateful that this threat wasn’t realized, let’s be clear about what this ceasefire is: Trump trying and failing to backpedal on the self-inflicted fallout of a conflict that has predictably left the United States and the world worse off than before. The Straight of Hormuz was open without tolls before—that’s no longer the case.

Trump is a clear and present danger who must be removed from office—whether through the 25th Amendment or impeachment."
