Sen. Lindsey Graham says land strikes in Venezuela are a "real possibility" amid rising tensions

As U.S. airstrikes on Venezuelan and Colombian vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific have killed at least 43 people across 10 boats since Sept. 2, Sen. Lindsey Graham said land strikes in Venezuela are a "real possibility." He said President Trump will brief Congress. Trump last week claimed sea-borne drugs were down to 5% of last year, offering no evidence, while lawmakers said proof is lacking. The Colombian government urged the U.S. to respect international law and stop the strikes. Graham argued authority, citing Panama; critics objected. Sen. Ruben Gallego called the actions "murder." Graham rejected that.
