Senate Advances Resolution Limiting Trump’s Venezuela War Powers

The Senate advanced a resolution that would limit further U.S. military action in Venezuela without congressional approval. Coverage links the measure to Trump’s military operation in Venezuela. Center outlets mostly explain the approval requirement and procedural status, with some also reporting Trump’s criticism of Republicans who backed the measure. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the vote as a check on Trump’s military action, while also noting Collins’s support for Maduro’s capture but opposition to prolonged U.S. involvement.
