US President Trump criticises Republicans who voted with Democrats on the Venezuela war powers resolution; says a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on the subject

"Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again."

Full Post: "Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again. This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s Authority as Commander in Chief. In any event, and despite their “stupidity,” the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional, totally violating Article II of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject."

What it means

Trump's criticism of Republican senators who supported a resolution on Venezuela signals potential political division within the party, which could affect foreign policy coherence. The mention of an upcoming Senate vote suggests that upcoming decisions may intensify market volatility, especially in currencies and commodities linked to geopolitical developments. Traders should monitor the implications for the USD and related assets as sentiment evolves.
