"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
A Gary and Prime Minister Victor Orban, a close ally of President Trump, has conceded
defeat to opposition leader Peter Maggar, and in his 16 years in power. Last week, Vice President Vance visited Hungary supporting Orban, trying to show a vote for the authoritarian leader. President Trump says the U.S. is imposing a naval blockade on the straight of Hormuz, but Iran says it won't bow down to threats, and here is my Eliason reports."
Trump told Fox News it wouldn't take long to clean out the straight.

country ships, but since it would also prevent any oil from coming through the straight, it's not clear how the blockade will help bring down the price of gas.
“Those high prices were caused by closing off one of the most important choke points for”
the global oil and gas market. The President also posted that any Iranian who fires at the U.S. or any other peaceful vessels will be "blown to hell." Our Eliason NPR news, Congress's back NDC tomorrow after a two-week break and topping the agenda, the war in Iran, impures Eric McDaniel has more.

The Constitution gives Congress the authority to declare war, though it's been sometimes since they asserted it. The show votes are expected to fail, but ahead of the eventual consideration of the President's $1.5 trillion Pentagon funding request. They'll put Republicans on the record about a military campaign that remains extremely
unpopular among the American public. Eric McDaniel and PR News, Washington.
