U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor said President Donald Trump’s military action against Venezuela violated the Constitution by bypassing Congress and lacked evidence of an imminent threat, arguing that authorization is necessary for public accountability. Mexico’s president condemned the action separately, citing international law and calling for non-intervention and peaceful resolution. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna dismissed Mexico’s criticism outright, saying she did not care about the Mexican president’s position and accusing the country’s leadership of being cartel-controlled. The competing responses underscore widening divisions not only within Congress, but also between U.S. officials and regional leaders over the scope and legitimacy of the action.
