This report covers senate blocks trump's venezuela with key details and context.
The US Senate, by a narrow margin of 51-49, blocked a resolution aiming to limit Donald Trump’s power to initiate military strikes against Venezuela without Congress’ approval. The resolution was put forward by senators including Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff, and had Rand Paul, a Republican, as a co-sponsor. The proposal was in response to rising concerns over US military activities in the southern Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, specifically reported strikes on vessels associated with Venezuela or alleged traffickers. The Trump administration maintains that its military actions are targeted at ‘narco-terrorists’ and drug trafficking vessels, and insists it possesses the authority to act. However, critics argue the legality and transparency of such actions are questionable. Despite this setback, lawmakers have stated their intention to continue asserting congressional oversight of war powers.
