US EditionGraham Says Lawmakers to Be Briefed on Potential Venezuela Land Attack
- President Donald Trump plans to brief U.S. Congress on planned military operations in Venezuela and Colombia upon his return from his trip to Asia, after first teasing the briefing during a White House meeting on Thursday.
- Framing the strikes as counter‑narcotics, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Trump sees Nicolas Maduro, leader of Venezuela, as an indicted drug trafficker and believes `it's time for him to go`.
- As of Friday, at least 43 people have been killed in 10 U.S. military strikes since September 2nd, while last week the first boat was destroyed in the Pacific Ocean as traffickers shift to land.
- Critics argue the strikes have drawn sharp criticism as Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego called the maritime strikes `murder` and the Colombian government urged the U.S. to cease them.
- U.S. land strikes are a real possibility, Sen. Lindsey Graham said, citing President Trump’s statement that strikes are "going to be next" and defending action without Congress by referencing the 1989 invasion of Panama.
