Senate Rejects Limit On Trump’s Military Authority In Venezuela
22 hours ago
Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic effort to require congressional approval before President Donald Trump could launch attacks on Venezuelan soil. The legislation failed in a narrow 49-51 vote, with only two Republicans — Senators Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski — supporting it.
The vote comes as the U.S. builds up naval forces in the Caribbean to target drug-smuggling operations. Trump says the military campaign is intended to protect Americans from deadly narcotics.
