Abstract

The article focuses on recent U.S. military strikes against Venezuelan vessels, ordered by President Donald Trump, as part of a broader campaign against drug trafficking. Following a strike on September 2 that killed 11 people, a second strike on September 15 resulted in the deaths of three individuals, prompting concerns about the legality of these actions under international law and U.S. law. Critics, including lawmakers from both political parties, have raised questions about the potential for unauthorized military engagement with Venezuela and the implications for congressional authority to declare war. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has condemned these strikes as acts of aggression, asserting his country's readiness to defend itself. [Extracted from the article]
