Scoop: Trump orders more Venezuela briefings for Congress

President Trump is directing staff to brief more members of Congress on anti-narcotics tactics in the Caribbean and Pacific due to bipartisan concerns. Lawmakers are seeking more information regarding military maneuvers off Venezuela and extrajudicial killings. Trump has received complaints from congressmen, prompting him to order more briefings. Secretary Rubio conducted a briefing for the "Gang of Eight," with plans to expand the circle of those informed. A prior GOP-only briefing sparked Democratic outrage, highlighting the need for bipartisan engagement. Concerns persist among Democrats regarding the legal justifications for the administration's actions. Trump has shown a strong interest in Latin America, focusing on drug cartels and the Maduro regime. The U.S. has deployed a substantial armada off Venezuela, aiming to disrupt drug trafficking and pressure Maduro. While some reports suggest potential strikes in Venezuela, Trump has not yet approved such action. The U.S. denies plans for military operations in Colombia and emphasizes collaboration with Mexico on cartel issues.
