On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate voted 51 to 50 to block a resolution that sought to prevent President Donald Trump from using military force in Venezuela without congressional approval. After a harassment campaign by the Trump administration against senators, two legislators changed their votes, and Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie‑breaking vote to defeat the measure. The decision underscores internal divisions in Washington over foreign policy and comes just days after U.S. military aggression in Venezuela on January 3, an operation initially justified as an anti‑drug effort but later denied by the Department of Justice, which culminated in the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores.
