WASHINGTON, July 21 -- Sen. Tammy Baldwin issued the following press release:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) pressed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on the disastrous impacts of Trump's illegal war in Iran that's raising costs on Wisconsin families and farmers. During a hearing in front of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, Baldwin demanded answers from Secretary Hegseth on why soldiers in the Middle East were denied drone and air defense systems, only to then be hit by an Iranian drone strike killing six soldiers and injuring more than 30 others, including soldiers from Wisconsin. The hearing comes as President Trump has requested nearly $70 billion in additional funding to further his war in Iran.
