In the United States (USA), Democratic Senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy , posted a video on social networks questioning Trump's legal authority to carry out the action without authorization from Congress.

New details about the alleged military attack ordered by the president against a boat off the Venezuelan coast reveal inconsistencies in the official justification, according to legislators and legal experts.

Legislator Murphy noted that the American president has no basis for involving the United States in international conflicts without national debate.

Their stated reason for carrying out the attacks, to try to stop the flow of drugs to the United States, makes no sense as the central axis of an anti-narcotics strategy,” Murphy said.

He also said that while Trump orders warmongering actions in the Caribbean, “he is cutting back and dismantling the programs we use to interrupt drug trafficking.” In his words, the country currently has “far fewer resources to stop fentanyl from reaching the United States. “
