The US House of Representatives has voted down efforts to rein in President Donald Trump’s military actions against Venezuela, rejecting two Democrat-led resolutions that sought to limit the administration’s use of force.
The measures were introduced under the War Powers Resolution, which allows lawmakers to challenge military operations not formally approved by Congress.
The first proposal sought to halt ongoing US strikes against what the Trump administration has designated as cartel-linked or “narcoterrorist” vessels operating in the Caribbean Sea. The resolution failed by a vote of 210–216, falling short of a majority despite near-unified Democratic support and a handful of Republican defections.
