Bid to rein in Trump's Venezuela war powers fails in US House

 


U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media during the 56th annual
 World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland, January 22, 2026.


  • Republicans unite to defeat Democratic-led measure
  • Republicans accuse Democrats of acting out of anti-Trump spite
  • Democrats say Congress should reassert power to declare war
  • Democrats fault Trump for preserving most of Maduro government


WASHINGTON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Republicans narrowly defeated a resolution on Thursday that would have barred President Donald Trump from further military action in Venezuela without the authorization of Congress, days after a similar measure failed in the Senate.
The House voted 215 to 215, a tie that defeated the resolution which "directs the president to remove United States Armed Forces from Venezuela, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for use of military force."
