参议院共和党人阻止限制特朗普对毒品贩运集团军事行动的决议

摘要

参议院共和党人投票否决了一项要求总统特朗普在对毒品贩运集团采取军事行动前必须获得国会批准的决议,维持了政府目前的做法。

周三,参议院共和党人以51票对48票阻止了一项决议,该决议要求总统唐纳德·特朗普在对毒品贩运集团进行进一步军事行动前必须获得国会授权。该决议由弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩和加利福尼亚州民主党参议员亚当·希夫提出,旨在限制总统在加勒比地区单方面使用军事力量。

特朗普政府报告称,其军事行动已摧毁四艘船只,至少造成21人死亡,并阻止了毒品进入美国。政府声称毒品贩运者是武装战斗人员,构成国家安全威胁,因此使用军事力量是合理的。

一些共和党参议员对军事打击的法律依据和具体细节表示担忧。北达科他州参议员凯文·克雷默表示,虽然他“对他们法律论点的合理性感到放心”,但如果政府能共享相关信息,他“会更有信心为政府辩护”。

民主党人则认为这些军事行动可能违反美国及国际法律。参议院军委会最高民主党成员杰克·里德参议员表示,“国会监督的逐步削弱不仅仅是一个关于程序的抽象辩论,它是对我们民主的现实且迫在眉睫的威胁。”

白宫曾表示,如果该决议通过,特朗普总统将予以否决。尽管决议未获通过,此次投票仍使立法者得以正式表达他们对政府针对毒品贩运集团军事行动的立场。
