Indian-American lawmakers strongly criticized President Donald Trump's decision to deploy military forces to Venezuela, accusing him of abusing presidential power and risking another open-ended conflict.

Senior congressional members, including Raja Krishnamoorthi and Pramila Jayapal, stressed the illegality of such actions without congressional approval, and warned of the implications on international diplomacy.
