Senate blocks restriction of Trump\u2019s Venezuela operation!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The vote ended 51 to 50. Vice President J.D. Vance cast the deciding vote.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Senate has blocked a resolution that would have limited President Trump in further military actions against Venezuela. Republican senators followed heavy pressure from the White House and thereby prevented formal congressional oversight. The trigger for the vote was the nighttime arrest of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro by U.S. troops, carried out without prior approval by Congress. Five Republicans had initially joined Democrats in supporting a debate, but later partially withdrew their support. In the end, the decisive vote came from J.D. Vance, who brought down the initiative. Senator Todd Young switched sides at short notice and said he had received assurances that no U.S. ground troops were present in Venezuela. Critics strongly contradicted this account. Rand Paul made clear that blockades, attacks on ships, and the detention of a president already constitute military actions. The episode shows how far Trump conducts foreign policy without binding himself to parliamentary control. At the same time, unease is growing in the Senate over a course that creates facts first and allows oversight only afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump enforces tariffs and overturns milk rules in schools<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even before speaking about protests in Iran or nutrition, Donald Trump signed two new tariff orders. One provides for a punitive tariff of 25 percent on imported semiconductors if they are not used in the United States. Trump said China wanted to sell chips this way, and the United States would in future profit directly from it. The revenue, he claimed, would effectively flow into American coffers. The second order concerns tariffs on strategically important minerals considered indispensable for industry and technology. Both measures mark a further tightening of the government\u2019s trade policy line. On the same day, Trump also signed a law allowing whole milk to return to school cafeterias. This lifts earlier restrictions that had pushed high-fat dairy products out of school meals. Schools in the national lunch program will again be allowed to offer whole milk and milk with two percent fat. The rule could take effect as early as fall and follows new government nutrition guidelines that explicitly permit full-fat dairy products again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
