President Donald Trump criticized Sen. Todd Young for voting to advance a war powers resolution concerning U.S. military action in Venezuela. Young said future commitments of American troops should require congressional approval.
Trump criticized Young and four other Republicans in a Truth Social post after they voted to advance a war powers resolution. The measure would require Trump to seek congressional approval for further military action in Venezuela, where U.S. forces had captured leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife. The article says administration officials expected the United States to control Venezuela for months or years.
Young said he was not prepared to commit American troops to the mission and supported requiring congressional approval for future commitments. Trump argued the resolution would hinder national security and presidential authority. The measure is scheduled to go to the full Senate the following week and would also need House approval and the president’s signature to become law.
