The US Senate has advanced a resolution to curb President Trump's war powers regarding Venezuela, with five Republicans joining Democrats in a 52-47 vote. This action follows the US military's capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and signals congressional unease with the administration's expanding involvement. Concurrently, the US announced plans to indefinitely control and sell Venezuelan oil, with proceeds held in US accounts, aiming to rebuild the nation's oil infrastructure. Russia condemned the US seizure of the oil tanker Marinera, which had three Indian crew members, calling it a violation of maritime law.
