US Senate advances war powers resolution to stop Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela
AI Summary
The US Senate advanced a bipartisan war powers resolution aimed at preventing further unauthorized military action against Venezuela by President Trump. The resolution, introduced by Senator Tim Kaine, requires Trump to seek Congressional approval before using military force in Venezuela. The move follows a recent raid, ordered by Trump, to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, which sparked outrage from both Democrats and some Republicans who felt Congress should have been notified beforehand. The resolution passed with a vote of 52-47, with support from all Democrats and a handful of Republicans. If approved by the Senate, the measure would then need to pass the House and be signed by the President to become law. The resolution is the latest attempt by Congress to check Trump's actions against Venezuela, which have intensified in recent months.
