💨 Abstract
President Donald Trump's administration has clarified that it does not intend to occupy or engage in nation-building in Venezuela. Republican lawmakers, after a briefing, stated that U.S. troops were sent to seize Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on narcotics charges, not for regime change. Democrats criticized the lack of clarity in the administration's plans. The Senate may vote on blocking further military action without congressional approval. Republicans argue the operation was brief and involved law enforcement.
