Several US Democratic lawmakers criticized the Trump administration’s military strikes on Venezuela, labeling them “illegal” and asserting that President Trump bypassed Congress to avoid public opposition to war. Sen. Ruben Gallego condemned the strikes as an unjustified conflict, while Sen. Andy Kim accused officials of misleading Congress about the operation’s intentions. Rep. Jim McGovern questioned the administration’s funding priorities and called for immediate Congressional action against the strikes, which occurred without prior notification to key lawmakers. This military escalation has raised skepticism among the public and lawmakers regarding the US’s involvement in Latin America.
