The Senate blocked a war powers resolution that would have required President Trump to get congressional approval before further military actions in Venezuela, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a 51-50 tie.

The measure was prompted by a recent U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro without prior congressional notice.

Two Republicans who had initially supported the resolution, Josh Hawley and Todd Young, reversed their votes after assurances that no U.S. troops were in Venezuela and future major operations would involve Congress.

President Trump had criticized Republicans who supported the resolution, calling their actions a threat to U.S. powers, NPR has reported.

The vote is a setback for lawmakers seeking to reclaim congressional oversight of military force, though efforts to push additional war powers measures continue.
