Trump Rages at Republicans Who Voted to Limit Powers in Venezuela

Republican senators joined forces with their Democratic colleagues to advance a resolution aimed at restricting President Trump’s military powers regarding Venezuela, a blow to the president who lashed out at these officials. Trump labeled five Republican senators who voted for the measure as “foolish” and stated they should never be elected again. The resolution, if passed by the House of Representatives, would require congressional approval for any future military action in Venezuela. This move represents a significant setback for Trump, who has expressed his intention to “run” Venezuela and control its oil, with the possibility of sending troops to the country not ruled out.
