🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 Breaking News: Trump Expected to Announce War on Venezuela in Tonight's National Address
According to a senior Capitol Hill source who spoke with Antiwarcom, Trump is expected to announce plans for war against Venezuela in his national address tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
Tucker Carlson also confirmed this report on his "Judging Freedom" podcast:
"Congressmen were informed yesterday that war is coming and will be announced in tonight's national address."
This comes after Trump announced a "complete blockade" of Venezuelan oil tankers on Tuesday and seized a tanker carrying Venezuelan crude oil.
According to earlier reports, Trump has been briefed on the following military options:
- Strike government targets
- Deploy special forces to kill or capture Maduro
- Deploy a larger force to seize air bases and oil fields
The US government has made it clear that its goal is to overthrow the Maduro regime.
Any attack on Venezuela without congressional authorization would be unconstitutional.
The House of Representatives is expected to vote today on a bipartisan War Powers resolution aimed at preventing Trump from waging war.
Venezuela has requested the UN Security Council to convene next Tuesday to discuss “the continued aggression of the United States.”
9 p.m. ET. Tonight.
