Senate Rebukes Trump on Venezuela War Powers

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has advanced a measure to limit President Trump's ability to use military force in Venezuela. The measure passed a key procedural vote. Several Republicans joined with Democrats to allow it to move forward. The vote shows growing concern in both major political parties about the administration's strategy toward Venezuela. The country is in a deep political and economic crisis. The proposal would block funding for any unauthorized use of the U.S. armed forces in Venezuela. It is a direct challenge to the president's authority on military action. The Senate will now debate and hold a final vote on the measure.
