Senate Rejects Limits on Trump's Cartel Military Strikes

Senate Republicans narrowly defeated a resolution aimed at limiting President Trump's authority to use military force against drug cartels. Democrats sought to reassert congressional war powers after the administration's assertive actions in the Caribbean, which have resulted in destroyed vessels and casualties. Despite some Republican concerns about legal justification and transparency, the White House argued the strikes are necessary for national security, with a potential veto threatening the legislation. The vote highlights ongoing tensions over executive war-making powers.
