Senate Republicans Block Resolution to Limit Trump's Military Actions in Venezuela

U.S. Senate Republicans blocked a resolution to limit President Donald Trump's military actions in Venezuela without congressional approval. The vote demonstrated Trump's influence over his party, with key Republicans swayed to oppose the measure. The resolution was part of a broader debate over war powers and U.S. foreign policy.

In a narrow 51-50 vote, Senate Republicans blocked a resolution on Wednesday that aimed to curb President Donald Trump's military actions in Venezuela without congressional oversight, underscoring the party's deep divisions over presidential war powers.

The resolution's defeat highlighted Trump's strong grip on Republican lawmakers, despite early support from some who joined Democrats in advancing the measure. President Trump's recent comments and actions on Venezuela stirred debate about the constitutional separation of war powers.

Despite the resolution's failure, concerns linger about Trump's foreign policy approach and the potential for military engagement without Congress's consent. With Trump's promises of prolonged U.S. involvement in Venezuela, the issue is far from resolved.
