During a closed-door meeting at the Capitol, Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy blasted President Donald Trump by questioning him for extending the declared war against Iran by four months.

The uncomfortable moment was described by the legislator as he left the event in front of a group of media representatives waiting to find out what had happened.

It all allegedly arose when the 80-year-old president expressed his frustration over the Senate's approval of a resolution on war powers that ordered him to withdraw US troops from the conflict against Iran on February 28.

"Trump asked 'why would anyone vote for the war powers resolution?'

I stood up and said, 'They haven't told the American people what's going on. It was supposed to last four weeks, but it's already been four months. We have not achieved our initial objectives and I want to know what is happening,'” he said.

The Louisiana senator's account details how Trump, enraged at having been challenged in front of the Senate Republicans, began to yell at him, but far from being intimidated, Cassidy claims to have yelled back at them.

"He didn't like my comments and raised his voice. I lost my temper, which is not appropriate; it's my Irish side. I responded with the same tone and volume, and the argument went back and forth," he said.

Bill Cassidy ruled out feeling sorry for having confronted the president, as he assures that, like many other Americans, he wants to know the reason why the United States continues to be immersed in a conflict that is so costly in all aspects.

"It does not appear that things are following the course we were promised. Therefore, I do not apologize for having stood up to the president, demanding that more information be shared with the Senate and with the American people," he emphasized.

As he left the meeting, the nation's president's face showed tension and as he passed by some journalists he was heard saying: "There are some people I don't like, but I think you know who they are."
