Republicans reportedly requested the agreement be downgraded from foreign policy to office equipment.
The White House treated President Trump’s “largely negotiated” Iran deal as a routine filing matter Friday, placing it in the Red Alert Binder between “tariffs” and “things we will explain after lunch.”
Senate Republicans responded by activating Form 9-A, Concern in Triplicate, requiring staff to initial every page they had not read and attach a small flag labeled “alarmed.”
“We are monitoring the tabs,” one leadership aide said.
By evening, the agreement had been reassigned from diplomacy to office equipment, pending review by the Committee on Pens, Stamps, and Unscheduled Foreign Policy.
Context
Trump said an Iran deal was “largely negotiated,” while senior Republicans publicly voiced alarm about the potential agreement.
