As the #Trump admin asserts a #NewWorldOrder guided by #military #force & #economic #power — & Trump calls for a massive increase in military spending to confront these “dangerous times” — #US #allies are insisting that global stability depends on following #InternationalLaw.

Top #Republican lawmakers are firmly backing the #Trump admin’s arrest of Venezuela’s president & assertions of control over the South American nation’s #oil industry, but some #GOP senators are drawing the line on more attacks without the approval of #Congress.

#Democrats & 5 #Republicans voted to advance the #WarPowers resolution on a 52-47 vote tally & ensure a later vote for final passage.
It has virtually no chance of becoming #law because #Trump would have to sign it if it were to pass the #House, but it’s still a significant gesture that shows unease among some Republicans after the #US #military seized #Venezuela President #Maduro in a nighttime raid.
