Venezuela

Today, the world celebrates 80 years since the creation of the United Nations.

In the aftermath of World War II, the U.N. offered a promise of a more just and peaceful world where the human rights of all are protected, and conflicts between states are settled with diplomacy, not war.

Today, we celebrate that vision, and the progress we’ve made towards a world free of war and threat of war, with equity and justice for all.

Today, Senators Tim Kaine (VA), Adam Schiff (CA), and Rand Paul (KY) introduced a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to prevent President Donald Trump from launching unauthorized military strikes on Venezuela.

The new resolution comes as the Trump administration continued its lawless killings in the Caribbean Sea this week while escalating tensions and threatening war with Venezuela.

New U.S. Strikes in the Caribbean Sea

The Senate will soon vote on a War Powers Resolution, as early as today, October 8, to stop the Trump administration’s unlawful strikes against boats suspected of trafficking drugs in the Caribbean.
