US Senate Passes Vote to Block Trump from Additional Military Action in Venezuela
Washington D.C., January 8 - The US Senate has passed a measure that would prevent President Donald Trump from carrying out additional military actions in Venezuela without Congressional approval, just days after his initial operation. The vote clears the way for further debate in the 100-member chamber.
According to Al Jazeera, the procedural vote to advance the War Powers measure passed 52-47, with a small group of Republicans joining all Democrats in support.
The resolution was introduced by Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and advanced out of committee with the support of Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young, clearing the path for consideration on the Senate floor.
The measure aims to restrict Trump from using additional military force against Venezuela, potentially limiting the administration’s plans to control the country’s oil exports.
