Breaking-News >> WorldNews Trump military pressure on Venezuela U.S. lawmaker stresses war must be authorized by Congress
US President Trump has recently continued to increase military pressure on Venezuela, causing concerns about possible conflicts between the two countries.In the United States, a number of senators intend to push for the vote on the bill on "the right to go to war" again, so as to make it clear that the government must obtain the authorization of Congress before going to war with foreign countries. Reuters reported on the 17th that * Senators Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff and Republican Senator Rand Paul jointly proposed this bill, seeking a vote in the Senate. Earlier, on the 8th of this month, the Senate voted on another similar bill proposed by Kane and Schiff, but the bill failed with 48 votes in favor and 51 votes against. The voting results are basically consistent with the number of seats in the two parties. Kane hopes the latest bill will get more Republican support, he said, according to the U.S. Constitution, only Congress can authorize war.The current Trump administration "clearly doesn't have the authorization of Congress"Moreover, the Trump administration has failed to provide adequate explanations on the Venezuelan issue, putting congressmen in the face of information “black holes.” Recently, the United States has deployed several warships in the Caribbean waters near Venezuela to combat drug trafficking. Since September, the Trump administration has successively announced that it has sunk five so-called “drug ships” in the high seas near Venezuela and killed 27 “drug traffickers.”The Trump administration has so far failed to explain why it wanted to blow up the ship and kill everyone on board, rather than intercept it。 According to the Associated Press, many Republicans also asked the White House to give a detailed explanation of these crackdowns, while Democrats accused this practice of violating American law and international law. Trump said on the 15th of this month that he had authorized the CIA to carry out secret operations in Venezuela and was considering carrying out ground strikes. Recent reports from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration show that Venezuela is not the main source of drugs flowing into the United States. The Venezuelan government has repeatedly accused the United States of attempting to bring about regime change in Venezuela through military threats and carry out military expansion in Latin America.
