Senate advances bill to block further military action in Venezuela

The Washington Postnation

Key Points:

  • The Senate advanced a bipartisan measure aimed at blocking the Trump administration from conducting further military action in Venezuela.
  • The move signals a rare assertion of Congress's authority over the use of lethal force following a dramatic raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
  • Although largely symbolic, the measure reflects growing congressional concern about executive military actions abroad.
