The House is voting today on a resolution that directly tells President Trump to pull US military forces out of Venezuela. This move is the latest effort by Democrats to try to limit the president’s increasingly aggressive actions in the Western Hemisphere.
Democrats say this resolution is absolutely necessary, especially since the US already conducted a raid to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. They’re also worried because the president has stated plans to control the country’s massive oil industry for years to come. They argue Congress needs to assert its role in determining when the president can use wartime powers, per AP.
