Senate Backs Trump's Military Actions in Venezuela Despite Public Opposition

The U.S. Senate has voted against a resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's military actions in Venezuela, allowing him to proceed without congressional approval. The 51-49 vote predominantly reflected party lines, with only two Republicans siding with Democrats.

This decision enables the Trump administration to escalate its military campaign against Venezuela, focusing on ousting President Nicolás Maduro amid rising concerns. Critics argue that such actions may violate international law and the U.S.

Constitution, especially considering the administration's lack of transparency and consultation. Despite widespread public opposition to military intervention, the Senate's rejection of the resolution signals a willingness among many lawmakers to support aggressive measures against perceived threats, including drug cartels linked to Maduro.

As military pressure intensifies, the implications for U.S. foreign policy and international relations remain significant and contentious.
