Khanna: Congress Must Stop Trump From Invading 6 Other Countries He's Threatened

"Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) has called on Congress to move to assert its war powers "every day this month" to stop President Donald Trump from invading more countries, including the six he has either threatened or attacked just in the past three weeks. In a post on X, Khanna said, "As a response to the illegal strikes in Venezuela, Congress must force votes and debate every day this month on War Power Resolutions" aimed at preventing invasions of Cuba, Colombia, Greenland, Nigeria, Panama, and Iran."

"In the two days following the Trump administration's bombardment of Caracas and kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Trump has openly threatened five of these countries. He suggested that he would follow through on his fantasy of annexing Greenland, threatened Mexico and Colombia with similar military operations under the guise of ending drug trafficking in a manner similar to his abduction of Maduro, and said that Cuba is "ready to fall.""

"Trump also repeated his threats to Iran, after saying on Truth Social last week that the U.S. is "locked and loaded" and prepared to attack the country in response to recent reports of protest suppression. On Monday, he signed a hat for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) that read "Make Iran Great Again." Meanwhile, on Christmas day, the Trump administration bombed Nigeria, after previously threatening to go into the country "guns-a-blazing" over a manufactured and unproven right wing narrative about Christian persecution."

Many U.S. lawmakers have remained silent about the attack on Venezuela despite international condemnation. Rep. Ro Khanna called on Congress to assert its war powers "every day this month" to prevent President Donald Trump from invading additional countries. Khanna urged forced votes and debate on War Power Resolutions to block invasions of Cuba, Colombia, Greenland, Nigeria, Panama, and Iran. The Trump administration bombed Caracas and abducted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro while Trump openly threatened Greenland, Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, and Iran. Trump described the U.S. as "locked and loaded" and signed a hat reading "Make Iran Great Again." On Christmas day, the administration bombed Nigeria.
