Congress invoked the War Powers Act for oversight votes, while Venezuela’s interim leadership declared a state of emergency, released political prisoners, and sought UN Security Council review of the operations. These events, combined with prior naval interdictions and sanctions enforcement in the Caribbean, represent the primary drivers behind trader views on the remote prospects for a formal congressional declaration of war within the resolution window.
