U.S. Senate Blocks Resolution to Limit Trump’s Military Action in Venezuela

The U.S. Senate narrowly blocked a resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump's ability to conduct further military action in Venezuela without congressional approval. The vote was tied 50-50, with Vice President JD Vance casting the decisive vote to dismiss the measure. Initially, five Republican senators joined Democrats to advance the resolution, but two later reversed their support following pressure from the Trump administration. Supporters argued the resolution was necessary due to ongoing U.S. naval blockades and threats of further action, while opponents contended no active military operations were underway.
