00:00The Trump Administration informed the U.S. Congress that it currently has no legal justification to attack Venezuela.
00:07Trump Administration officials explained to lawmakers that the United States does not plan to launch attacks within Venezuela
00:14and that there is currently no legal justification for targeting ground forces.
00:21According to sources with knowledge of the matter, the meeting was led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
00:27Secretary of Defense Pete Hesseth, and a staffer from the Office of the White House Legal Advisor.
00:33In the classified session, the legislators were informed that the opinion issued by the Office of the Legal Advisor
00:40of the Department of Justice to justify attacks on vessels allegedly used for drug trafficking
00:45does not authorize attacks within Venezuela or any other territory.
00:50On the same day, the United States Senate rejected an initiative that sought to prevent unilateral military intervention
01:03without the consent of the legislature.
01:06The promoters of the resolution argued that Congress should not cede its authority on matters of war to the executive branch.
01:14In October, Senate Republicans blocked a similar effort aimed at preventing continued U.S. strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats off the coast of Venezuela.
01:25The 1973 War Powers Resolution requires the President to inform Congress within 48 hours of the introduction of forces into hostilities

02:20Faced with this situation, the Air Traffic Controllers Association is urging them to avoid a strike.
02:27The government is attempting to implement relief measures but, so far, no agreement has been reached to reopen the administration.
02:39Then, after all, no agreement is necessary for the government.
02:40I think we'll be asking the suction, the power to move on to a shame and the use of the use of theGoditive
02:40AARON-A-GOTA-GOTAAR and the power to over-the-the- creatures of the progeny of the coordinator.
02:42So, we will not change the power to move on.
