A growing number of Republican senators are publicly demanding greater oversight of President Donald Trump's bombing campaign against suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, arguing Congress has been left out of a campaign that could expand to strikes on Venezuela.
The administration has carried out 10 known lethal strikes it says targeted drug-smuggling vessels and has deployed a major naval force to the region, including the USS Gerald R. Ford; the White House says the operations have killed 43 people.
