The Senate has advanced a resolution that would limit President Donald Trump’s ability to conduct further attacks against Venezuela, sounding a note of disapproval for his expanding ambitions in the Western Hemisphere. Five Republicans backed the resolution, and more war powers votes are looming on Greenland and other countries where Trump has expressed military ambitions.
As his administration asserts a new world order guided by military force and economic power — and Trump calls for a massive increase in military spending to confront these “dangerous times” — U.S. allies are insisting that global stability depends on following international law.
