Republican senator Rand Paul said it was ‘not the job of the American government to go looking for monsters around the world’
Chris Van Hollen, the Democratic senator from Maryland, was among the lawmakers speaking out against the Trump administration and its actions around Venezuela, taking to the senate floor on Wednesday to call on Congress to block Donald Trump from “using taxpayer dollars to launch a regime change war”.
“Last time I checked, the constitution of the United States gives Congress – this body – the power to decide questions of war or peace,” he said.
