'Don't squander the patriotism of our troops,' congressman warns Trump - The Last Word - MS NOW
After abandoning his idea to demand ships pay a 20% protection fee to transit the Strait of Hormuz just one day after unveiling it, Trump is facing criticism over his Middle East strategy.
Democratic Congressman Chris Deluzio (D-PA), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, joins MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell to warn against further U.S. military involvement in the region, arguing that Trump should not "squander the patriotism of our troops" by putting American service members in harm's way. - Aired on 07/14/2026.
