US Senate Advances Bill to Curb Trump's Venezuela War Powers

• US Senate voted to advance a resolution limiting President Trump's ability to take military action against Venezuela without congressional approval.
• The procedural vote was 52-47, with Democrats and some Republicans supporting the measure.
• This vote follows a dramatic military raid in Caracas where Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was reportedly captured.
• Previous attempts to pass similar resolutions were blocked by Republicans last year.
• The Trump administration has increased military pressure on Venezuela, including attacks on boats in the southern Caribbean since September.
