The U.S. House of Representatives has rejected a resolution aimed at preventing President Donald Trump from deploying military forces to Venezuela.
The vote ended in a tie, falling short of the majority needed to pass. This highlights House Speaker Mike Johnson's fragile control over his narrow majority.
It also shows increasing resistance within the Republican-led Congress to the president's aggressive actions in Latin America. Last week, a similar resolution in the Senate was also tied until Vice President JD Vance cast a decisive vote.
