SUMMARY

The US Senate has advanced a resolution to restrict President Trump from initiating military actions against Venezuela without congressional approval. The procedural vote passed 52 to 47, with support from several Republicans and all Senate Democrats. If successful, the resolution would require Trump to withdraw US forces engaged in hostilities against Venezuela unless Congress permits further action.

The decision highlights bipartisan discontent with Trump's military approach following the recent abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Advocates for the resolution see it as a vital step in reasserting Congress's authority on matters of war.
