US EditionRand Paul says Caribbean strikes ‘go against all of our tradition’
Sen. Rand Paul demands congressional approval for military strikes in the Caribbean, citing concerns over lack of evidence and adherence to constitutional war powers.
- Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., condemned U.S. strikes on alleged drug-cartel boats in the Caribbean, saying they `go against all of our tradition` while the administration says it targeted at least five boats.
- Last week Paul joined Democratic Sens. Tim Kaine of Virginia and Adam Schiff of California to introduce a resolution blocking unauthorized military hostilities against Venezuela, and on Sunday he said Congress should declare war, not the president alone.
- On evidence and names, Paul argued you have to present evidence as people have been "blown up without us knowing their name" and warned 25% might be innocent at 2,000 miles.
- Paul and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska crossed the aisle to vote for a resolution limiting strikes, while Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania joined Republicans; an earlier Kaine-Schiff measure failed in a 48-51 vote.
- Paul, despite his support for President Donald Trump, has publicly disagreed with the administration on military actions and tariffs and called Vice President JD Vance's praise for killing cartel members `despicable`.
