🇺🇸 ❌ 🇻🇪 Senators file resolution to block US military action in Venezuela without congressional approval

The resolution was initiated by Democratic Senators Tim Kaine, Chuck Schumer, and Adam Schiff as well as Republican Senator Rand Paul, Reuters reports.

👉 The document stipulates forcing a debate and vote in Congress that could block the possible use of US forces “in hostilities against or within Venezuela," the lawmakers said.

The US earlier warned that it would take action against Venezuela “very soon,” as Washington accuses Caracas of being involved in drug trafficking, allegations that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has repeatedly rejected.

💣 The US military has carried out at least 21 strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific since early September, killing some 83 people and prompting international condemnation.
