📰 NEWS | US Senate Rejects Resolution to End Military Strikes Near Venezuela

The US Senate has narrowly rejected a resolution aimed at restricting President Donald Trump’s authority to conduct military strikes near Venezuela. The 48–51 vote, led by Senators Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff, sought to require congressional approval for further attacks on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean.

The decision follows the Trump administration’s suspension of diplomatic contact with President Nicolás Maduro and a classified Justice Department opinion granting the president wide latitude to authorize lethal force against alleged cartels.

Washington currently has over 10,000 troops stationed across the Caribbean in what it calls an anti-drug operation. Caracas has warned of possible US military escalation.

The Venezuelan government has urged the UN Security Council to convene an urgent meeting to halt the military buildup in the Caribbean, warning that potential US aggression against Venezuela could occur soon.
